Job 18:2

How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.

There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.

How long wilt thou speak these things? And how long'shall the words of thy mouth be like a mighty wind?

Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?

Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it would be your wisdom.

I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are ye all.

Hear diligently my speech; And let this be your consolations.

Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.

He that giveth answer before he heareth, It is folly and shame unto him.

Ye know this , my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

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

Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.

Hear diligently my speech; And let this be your consolations.

Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.

He that giveth answer before he heareth, It is folly and shame unto him.

Ye know this , my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will speak.
