Job 18:2

When will you end these speeches? Be sensible, and then we can talk.

Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it once more. May a cloud settle over it and may blackness overwhelm its light.

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

How long will you say such things? Your words are a blustering wind.

Are all these words to go unanswered? Is this talker to be vindicated?

If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom.

I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!

Listen carefully to my words, and let this be your consolation.

Listen to my words Job. Pay attention to everything I say.

It is foolishness and shame to answer a matter before you hear it.

You know this, my beloved brothers. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

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 once more. May a cloud settle over it and may blackness overwhelm its light.

Listen carefully to my words, and let this be your consolation.

Listen to my words Job. Pay attention to everything I say.

It is foolishness and shame to answer a matter before you hear it.

You know this, my beloved brothers. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

Pay attention, Job, and listen to me! Be silent, and I will speak.
