Job 5:27

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

For inquire, I pray thee, of a former generation, and prepare thyself for the research of their fathers; -

Of a truth, ye, are the people, and, with you, wisdom, will die.

What knowest thou, that we know not? What understandest thou, and the same, is not with us?

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

Great are the works of Yahweh, sought out, by all who find pleasure therein.

Yea if, for understanding, thou cry aloud, for knowledge, utter thy voice;

Unto GOD, can a man act as friend? Surely a discreet man befriendeth himself!

to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, - for thy good?

If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself, but, if thou scoff, alone, shalt thou bear it.
