Behold, we have thus sought out these matters; these are what we have heard- but reflect within yourself, if you have done anything [wrong].

Give ear to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until you have tried the matter with words:

They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.

I waited, (for I had not spoken) because they stood still, and they did not speak.

But please, Job, hear my words, and listen to my speech.

Give ear, Job, and hear me: be silent, and I will speak.

If not, listen to me: be silent, and I will teach you.

I will see apart from myself- show me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do so anymore.

I will instruct you and guide you in the way you should go; I will fix My eyes upon you.

Give an opportunity to a wise man, and he will be wiser: instruct a just man, and he will receive more [instruction].

In an earring of gold a precious sardius is also set; so is a wise word to an obedient ear.

So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;

For the end, A Song of David, to Jeduthun. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue; I set a guard on my mouth, while the sinner stood in my presence.

I was dumb, and humbled myself, and kept silence from good [words]; and my grief was renewed.

For we all stumble in many [ways]. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a mature man, able also to bridle the whole body.

And I will say to the Lord, Do not teach me to be impious; and wherefore have You thus judged me?

Who will understand [his] transgressions? Purge me from my secret [sins].
