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?

Am I able to help my self? Is not my strength gone from me,

But I have understanding as well as ye, and am no less than ye. Yea who knoweth not these things?

Would God ye kept your tongue, that ye might be taken for wise men!

Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God, that all wisdom is too little for thee?

"As for you, turn you, and get you hence, I pray you - seeing I cannot see one wise man among you.

For when I had waited till ye made an end of your talking, and heard your wisdom, what arguments you made in your communication;

My heart shall order my words aright, and my lips shall talk of pure wisdom.

"What is he that hideth his mind with foolish words?

{To the Chanter, a Psalm of the children of Korah} O Hear this, all ye people: ponder it with your ears, all ye that dwell in the world,

My mouth shall speak daily of thy righteousness and salvation; for I know no end thereof.

Give ear, for I will speak of great matters, and open my lips to tell things that be right.

and how I kept back nothing that was profitable: but that I have showed you, and taught you openly and at home in your houses,

"What is he that hideth his mind with foolish words?
