Job 18:2

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

Let darkness and the shadow of death redeem it; let a cloud 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 wilt thou speak such things and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?

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

O that ye would altogether be silent! And it would be unto you instead of wisdom.

Many times I have heard such things; miserable comforters are ye all.

Hear diligently my speech, and let this be instead of your consolations.

Therefore, Job, hear now my reasons, and hearken to all my words.

For him that answers a word before he hears, it is folly and reproach unto him.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

Hear me, O Job, hearken unto me; be silent, and I will speak.
