¹⁶ And Job's mouth is open wide to give out what is of no profit, increasing words without knowledge.

² Who is this who makes the purpose of God dark by words without knowledge?

¹ Then, opening his mouth, and cursing the day of his birth,

² See, now my mouth is open, my tongue gives out words.

⁸ But you said in my hearing, and your voice came to my ears:

⁹ I am clean, without sin; I am washed, and there is no evil in me:

¹⁰ See, he is looking for something against me; in his eyes I am as one of his haters;

¹¹ He puts chains on my feet; he is watching all my ways.

¹² Truly, in saying this you are wrong; for God is greater than man.

³⁵ Job's words do not come from knowledge; they are not the fruit of wisdom.

³⁶ May Job be tested to the end, because his answers have been like those of evil men.

³⁷ For in addition to his sin, he is uncontrolled in heart; before our eyes he makes sport of God, increasing his words against him.
