Job 12:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and wherein I have erred, cause me to understand.

"Enquire, I pray thee, of them that have been before thee; and search diligently among thy forefathers.

"Should not he that maketh many words, be answered? Should he that babbleth much, be commended therein?

"Should a wise man's answer be as the science of the wind, and fill his belly with the wind of the east?

Thou hast withholden their hearts from understanding, therefore shall they not be set up on high.

I have sufficiently heard thy checking and reproof; therefore am I purposed to make answer after mine understanding.

for I thought thus within myself: It becometh old men to speak, and the aged to teach wisdom.

The rich man thinketh himself to be wise; but the poor that hath understanding, can perceive him well enough.

Woe be unto them that are wise in their own sight, and think themselves to have understanding.

We are fools for Christ's sake, and ye are wise through Christ: we are weak, and ye are strong. Ye are honorable, and we are despised.

This I say to your shame. Is there utterly no wise man among you? What, not one at all? That can judge between brother and brother?
