² No doubt but ye are the people, And wisdom shall die with you.

²⁴ Teach me, and I will hold my peace; And cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

²⁵ How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what doth it reprove?

¹⁰ We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor.

²¹ Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

¹¹ The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

⁷ I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

⁸ But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

⁹ It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.

¹⁰ Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.

¹¹ Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.

¹² Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.

³ I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame; And the spirit of my understanding answereth me.

¹⁰ But as for you all, come on now again; And I shall not find a wise man among you.

⁴ For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt `them'.

¹² But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born `as' a wild ass's colt.

⁶ And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

² Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?

⁸ For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out:

⁹ (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow);

¹⁰ Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, And utter words out of their heart?

⁵ I say `this' to move you to shame. What, cannot there be `found' among you one wise man who shall be able to decide between his brethren,
