Job 18:2

When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak.

Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days.

There the wicked have ceased troubling, And there rest do the wearied in power.

Till when dost thou speak these things? And a strong wind -- sayings of thy mouth?

Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified?

O that ye would keep perfectly silent, And it would be to you for wisdom.

I have heard many such things, Miserable comforters are ye all.

Hear ye diligently my word, And this is your consolation.

And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and to all my words give ear.

Whoso is answering a matter before he heareth, Folly it is to him and shame.

So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift 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 darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days.

Hear ye diligently my word, And this is your consolation.

And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and to all my words give ear.

Whoso is answering a matter before he heareth, Folly it is to him and shame.

So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

Attend, O Job, hearken to me, Keep silent, and I -- I do speak.
