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 not that I have no help in me, And that wisdom is driven quite from me?

But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it would be your wisdom.

Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? And dost thou limit wisdom to thyself?

But as for you all, come on now again; And I shall not find a wise man among you.

Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.

My words'shall utter the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.

Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge?

Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,

My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, And of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof .

Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

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

Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge?
