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, ask I pray thee of a former generation, And prepare to a search of their fathers,

Truly -- ye are the people, And with you doth wisdom die.

What hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou -- and it is not with us?

Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.

Great are the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,

To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable?

to keep the commands of Jehovah, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day, for good to thee?

If thou hast been wise, thou hast been wise for thyself, And thou hast scorned -- thyself bearest it.
