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?

Since I cannot help myself,
the hope for success has been banished from me.

But I also have a mind;
I am not inferior to you.
Who doesn’t know the things you are talking about?

If only you would shut up
and let that be your wisdom!

Do you listen in on the council of God,
or have a monopoly on wisdom?

But come back and try again, all of you.
I will not find a wise man among you.

Look, I waited for your conclusions;
I listened to your insights
as you sought for words.

My words come from my upright heart,
and my lips speak with sincerity what they know.

Who is this who obscures My counsel
with ignorant words?

For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.Hear this, all you peoples;
listen, all who inhabit the world,

My mouth will tell about Your righteousness
and Your salvation all day long,
though I cannot sum them up.

Listen, for I speak of noble things,
and what my lips say is right.

and that I did not shrink back from proclaiming to you anything that was profitable or from teaching it to you in public and from house to house.

Who is this who obscures My counsel
with ignorant words?
