Job 6:24

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

"Look! We have thought all this through, and what we've said is true; So please listen and learn for your own good!"

"Look! I have waited to hear your speech, so I listened to your insights while you searched for the right words to say.

"Now please listen to what I have to say, Job. Listen to every word!

What I don't see, instruct me! If I've done anything evil, I won't repeat it!'

I will instruct you and teach you concerning the path you should walk; I will direct you with my eye.

Counsel a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will add to his learning.

Like a gold earring and a necklace of pure gold is a wise reprover to a listening ear.

You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

I told myself, "I will keep watch over my tongue to keep from sinning. I will muzzle my mouth when the wicked are around."

For all of us make many mistakes. If someone does not make any mistakes when he speaks, he is perfect and able to control his whole body.

I'll say to God, "Don't condemn me! Let me know why you are fighting me.

Who can detect his own mistake? Cleanse me from hidden sin.
