Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man listen to me.
Therefore listen to me you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
If now you have understanding, hear this: listen to the voice of my words.
Hear my words, O you wise men; and give ear to me, you that have knowledge.
Should it be according to your mind? he will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose; and not I: therefore speak what you know.
Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.
