Job 18:2

How long will ye hunt for words? Be intelligent, and then we will speak.

Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it.

There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearied are at rest.

How long wilt thou speak these things? and the words of thy mouth be a strong wind?

Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man of much talk be justified?

Oh that ye would be altogether silent! and it would be your wisdom.

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

Hear attentively my speech, and let this replace your consolations.

Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear mine utterances, and hearken to all my words.

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

So that, my beloved brethren, 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; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it.

Hear attentively my speech, and let this replace your consolations.

Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear mine utterances, and hearken to all my words.

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

So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

Mark well, Job, hearken unto me; be silent, and I will speak.
