² What you know, I know also. I am not inferior to you.

³ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: Yes, who doesn't know such things as these?

¹¹ I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

¹⁶ I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.

¹⁷ That which I speak, I don't speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

¹⁸ Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.

⁴ For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different gospel, which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.

⁵ For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.

¹ Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

² But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn't yet know as he ought to know.

⁷ It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

⁴ "Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

⁵ I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further."

² Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, The sound that goes out of his mouth.

¹⁶ Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, And he multiplies words without knowledge."

³⁵ 'Job speaks without knowledge, His words are without wisdom.'

⁸ Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

⁹ What do you know, that we don't know? What do you understand, which is not in us?
