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

² "Who is this who darkens counsel By words without knowledge?

¹ After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth.

² See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.

⁸ "Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,

⁹ 'I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:

¹⁰ Behold, he finds occasions against me, He counts me for his enemy:

¹¹ He puts my feet in the stocks, He marks all my paths.'

¹² "Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just; For God is greater than man.

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

³⁶ I wish that Job were tried to the end, Because of his answering like wicked men.

³⁷ For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God."
