²⁴ Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

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

⁹ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just 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 understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

¹ Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

¹¹ Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

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

¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

¹² As an earring 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 guide thee with mine eye.

³² That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do 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 unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

¹⁵ They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.

¹⁶ When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

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