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

² For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

⁹ Give `instruction' to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

¹ I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.

² I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred.

¹² Who can discern `his' errors? Clear thou me from hidden `faults'.

¹ Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.

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

² I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; Show me wherefore thou contendest with me.

¹⁹ Ye know `this', my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

¹² `As' an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, `So is' a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

⁸ I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

³² That which I see not teach thou me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?

³¹ Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will speak.

³² If thou hast anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee.

³³ If not, hearken thou unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.

¹⁵ They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.

¹⁶ And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?

²⁷ Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
