O that you would be silent and stop talking, and it would be your wisdom!

Now listen to my arguments, and pay attention to the complaint of my lips.

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

Hear my words, you wise men; give ear to me, you who have knowledge.

Bear with me a little, and I will show you that there are yet words to speak on God's behalf.
