Job 18:2

"How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and then we will speak.

Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest.

"How long will you say these things, and the words of your mouth be a great wind?

"Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and a man full of talk be judged right?

Oh that you would keep silent, and it would be your wisdom!

"I have heard many such things; miserable comforters are you all.

"Keep listening to my words, and let this be your comfort.

"But now, hear my speech, O Job, and listen to all my words.

If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;

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

Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

"Keep listening to my words, and let this be your comfort.

"But now, hear my speech, O Job, and listen to all my words.

If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;

Pay attention, O Job, listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
