Job 18:2

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

How long will you throw out words? Understand first, and so let us speak.

See the chapter Copy

You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger.

He that answereth before he heareth sheweth himself to be a fool, and worthy of confusion.

Hear therefore, O Job, my speeches: and hearken to all my words.

Hear, I beseech you, my words: and do penance.

Shall not he that speaketh much, hear also? Or shall a man full of talk be justified?

How long wilt thou speak these things: and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?

There the wicked cease from tumult, and there the wearied in strength are at rest.

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:

Why are we reputed as beasts, and counted vile before you?
