Job 18:2

How long until you stop talking?
Show some sense, and then we can talk.

May darkness and gloom reclaim it,
and a cloud settle over it.
May an eclipse of the sun terrify it.

There the wicked cease to make trouble,
and there the weary find rest.

How long will you go on saying these things?
Your words are a blast of wind.

Should this stream of words go unanswered
and such a talker be acquitted?

If only you would shut up
and let that be your wisdom!

I have heard many things like these.
You are all miserable comforters.

Pay close attention to my words;
let this be the consolation you offer.

But now, Job, pay attention to my speech,
and listen to all my words.

The one who gives an answer before he listens—
this is foolishness and disgrace for him.

My dearly loved brothers, understand this: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

May darkness and gloom reclaim it,
and a cloud settle over it.
May an eclipse of the sun terrify it.

Pay close attention to my words;
let this be the consolation you offer.

But now, Job, pay attention to my speech,
and listen to all my words.

The one who gives an answer before he listens—
this is foolishness and disgrace for him.

My dearly loved brothers, understand this: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

Pay attention, Job, and listen to me.
Be quiet, and I will speak.
