Job 18:2

American Standard Version 2015

How long will ye hunt for words?\par\tab Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

See the chapter Copy

Ye know {\i this}, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

He that giveth answer before he heareth,\par\tab It is folly and shame unto him.

Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech,\par\tab And hearken to all my words.

Hear diligently my speech;\par\tab And let this be your consolations.

Should not the multitude of words be answered?\par\tab And should a man full of talk be justified?

How long wilt thou speak these things?\par\tab And {\i how long} shall the words of thy mouth be {\i like} a mighty wind?

There the wicked cease from troubling;\par\tab And there the weary are at rest.

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Wherefore are we counted as beasts,\par\tab {\i And} are become unclean in your sight?
