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 there any help at all in me? Is not, abiding success, driven from me?

I also, have a mind like you, I, fall not short, of you, But who hath not such things as these?

Oh that ye would, altogether held your peace, and it should serve you for wisdom!

In the secret council of GOD, hast thou been wont to hearken? Or canst thou attain for thyself unto wisdom?

But indeed, as for them all, will ye bethink yourselves and enter into it, I pray you? Or shall I not find, among you, one who is wise?

Lo! I waited for your words, I kept giving ear for your reasons, until ye should search out what to say;

Mine utterances come straight from mine own heart, and, what I know, my lips have truly spoken;

Who is it that darkeneth counsel, by words, without knowledge?

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

My month, shall relate thy righteousness, All the day, thy deliverance, For I know not the numbers.

Hear, for, princely things, will I speak, and the opening of my lips shall be of equity;

in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes;

Who is it that darkeneth counsel, by words, without knowledge?
