Job 18:2

How long will it be before you have done talking? Get wisdom, and then we will say what is in our minds.

Let the dark and the black night take it for themselves; let it be covered with a cloud; let the dark shades of day send fear on it.

There the passions of the evil are over, and those whose strength has come to an end have rest.

How long will you say these things, and how long will the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?

Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?

If only you would keep quiet, it would be a sign of wisdom!

Such things have frequently come to my ears: you are comforters who only give trouble.

Give attention with care to my words; and let this be your comfort.

And now, O Job, give ear to my words, and take note of all I say.

To give an answer before hearing is a foolish thing and a cause of shame.

You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

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

Let the dark and the black night take it for themselves; let it be covered with a cloud; let the dark shades of day send fear on it.

Give attention with care to my words; and let this be your comfort.

And now, O Job, give ear to my words, and take note of all I say.

To give an answer before hearing is a foolish thing and a cause of shame.

You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

Take note O Job, give ear to me; keep quiet, while I say what is in my mind.
