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?

There is no help within me, is there? My resources have been driven away from me, haven't they?

Like you, I also have understanding. I'm not inferior to you; who doesn't know things like this?"

I wish you'd all just shut up. Then at least you would appear to be wise.

Have you listened in on God's secret council? Have you limited wisdom only to yourself?

"Come here now, all of you, and I won't find a wise person among you.

"Look! I have waited to hear your speech, so I listened to your insights while you searched for the right words to say.

I speak from the innocence of my heart; and my lips will utter what I sincerely know.

"Who is this who keeps darkening my counsel without knowing what he's talking about?

Listen to this, all you people! Pay attention, all you who live in the world,

I will declare your righteousness and your salvation every day, though I do not fully understand what the outcome will be.

Listen, because I have noble things to say, and what I have to say will reveal what is right.

I never shrank from telling you anything that would help you nor from teaching you publicly and from house to house.

"Who is this who keeps darkening my counsel without knowing what he's talking about?
