Job 26:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

“Is it that my help is not within me,
And that

deliverance is driven from me?

“But I have intelligence as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
And who does not know such things as these?

“O that you would be completely silent,
And that it would become your wisdom!

“Do you hear the secret counsel of God,
And limit wisdom to yourself?

“But come again all of you now,
For I do not find a wise man among you.

“Behold, I waited for your words,
I listened to your reasonings,
While you pondered what to say.

“My words are from the uprightness of my heart,
And my lips speak knowledge sincerely.

“Who is this that darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?

For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Hear this, all peoples;

Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,

My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And of Your salvation all day long;
For I do not know the sum of them.

“Listen, for I will speak noble things;
And the opening of my lips will reveal right things.

how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly and from house to house,

“Who is this that darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
