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?

{Indeed}, my help is not in me, and [any] success is driven from me.

{I also have insight} like you; I am not more inferior than you. And {who does not know things like these}?

{O that} you would keep completely silent, and [that] it would become wisdom for you.

Have you listened in God's confidential discussion? And do you limit wisdom to yourself?

But {all of you must return}--{please come}! But I shall not find a wise [person] among you.

"Look, I waited for your words; I listened for your insight, until you searched out {what to say}.

My words [declare] my heart's uprightness, and my lips sincerely speak {what my lips know}.

"Who [is] this darkening counsel by words without knowledge?

Hear this, all [you] peoples; give ear, all [you] inhabitants of [the] world,

My mouth will tell of your righteousness, your salvation {all day long}, though I do not know [the full] sum [of them].

Listen! For noble things I will speak, and upright things from the opening of my lips.

how I did not shrink from proclaiming to you anything that would be profitable, and [from] teaching you in public and from house [to house],

"Who [is] this darkening counsel by words without knowledge?
