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.

"Enquire, I pray thee, of them that have been before thee; and search diligently among thy forefathers.

"Then, no doubt, ye are the men alone; and wisdom shall perish with you.

What knowest thou, that we know not? What understandest thou, but we can the same?

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

The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

For if thou criest after wisdom, and callest for knowledge;

"May a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

that thou keep the commandments of the LORD and his ordinances which I command thee this day, for thy wealth?

If thou be wise, thy wisdom shall do thyself good: but if thou thinkest scorn thereof, it shall be thine own harm.
