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 peace. Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

"Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.

"Shouldn't the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?

"Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

For you have hidden their heart from understanding, Therefore you shall not exalt them.

I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.

I said, 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'

The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him.

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

I say this to move you to shame. Isn't there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?
