“How painful are words of honesty.But what does your argument prove?

Did you intend your words to reprove, even though the speech of a desperate person is just wind?

The ear scrutinizes speech just as the palate tastes food."

Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.

Should he engage in unprofitable argument, or give a speech that benefits no one?

Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.

And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

Then Job continued his speech:

After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.

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

But now, Job, pay attention to my speech,and listen to all my words.

Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
