Job 12:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

"Teach me and I, for my part, will be silent; explain to me how I have been mistaken.

"For inquire now of the former generation, and pay attention to the findings of their ancestors;

"Should not this abundance of words be answered, or should this talkative man be vindicated?

"Does a wise man answer with blustery knowledge, or fill his belly with the east wind?

Because you have closed their minds to understanding, therefore you will not exalt them.

When I hear a reproof that dishonors me, then my understanding prompts me to answer.

I said to myself, 'Age should speak, and length of years should make wisdom known.'

A rich person is wise in his own eyes, but a discerning poor person can evaluate him properly.

Those who think they are wise are as good as dead, those who think they possess understanding.

We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!

I say this to your shame! Is there no one among you wise enough to settle disputes between fellow Christians?
