Job 5:27

“Behold this; we have investigated it, and it is true.
Hear and heed it, and know for yourself [for your own good].”

Great are the works of the Lord,
Studied by all those who delight in them.

and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?

“Inquire, please, of past generations,
And consider and apply yourself to the things searched out by their fathers.

“No doubt you are the [only wise] people [in the world],
And wisdom will die with you!

“What do you know that we do not know?
What do you understand that is not equally clear to us?

“I will tell you, listen to me;
And what I have seen I will also declare;

“Can a vigorous man be of use to God,
Or a wise man be useful to himself?

“You see, I waited for your words,
I listened to your [wise] reasons,
While you pondered and searched out what to say.

Yes, if you cry out for insight,
And lift up your voice for understanding;

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself [for your own benefit];
If you scoff [thoughtlessly ridicule and disdain], you alone will pay the penalty.
