That against God thou turnest thy spirit, And lettest words go out of thy mouth?

Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?

Unto whom alone the land was given, And no stranger passed among them):

For when a few years are come, I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

Job 16

He breaketh me with breach upon breach; He runneth upon me like a giant.

Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike hands with me?

He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, Neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.

Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And he that voucheth for me is on high.

His archers compass me round about; He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.

It shall be accomplished before his time, And his branch shall not be green.

That he would maintain the right of a man with God, And of a son of man with his neighbor!

I was at ease, and he brake me asunder; Yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: He hath also set me up for his mark.

What knowest thou, that we know not? What understandest thou, which is not in us?

Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? And dost thou limit wisdom to thyself?

Are the consolations of God too small for thee, Even the word that is gentle toward thee?

With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, Much elder than thy father.

And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; Yea, thou shalt search `about thee', and shalt take thy rest in safety.

With `God' is wisdom and might; He hath counsel and understanding.

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

If he pass through, and shut up, And all unto judgment, then who can hinder him?

In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; It is ready for them whose foot slippeth.

Job 12

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:

Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; Yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

Hear diligently my speech, And let my declaration be in your ears.

Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?

Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again; He shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

Job 15

With aged men is wisdom, And in length of days understanding.
