Job 18:2

Easy To Read Version

“Job, when will you stop talking?\par Be quiet and listen.\par Let us say something.\par

See the chapter Copy

“This flood of words should be answered!\par Does all this talking make Job right? No!\par

Then Bildad from Shuah answered:

Why do you think we are stupid\par like dumb cows?\par

“Listen to what I say.\par Let that be your way of comforting me.\par

Bad people stop making trouble\par when they are in the grave.\par And people who are tired\par find rest in the grave.\par

“Now, Job, listen to me.\par Listen carefully to the things I say.\par

“How long will you talk like that?\par Your words blow like a strong wind.\par

You should let other people finish speaking before you try to answer them. That way you won’t be embarrassed and appear foolish.

My dear brothers and sisters, always be more willing to listen than to speak. Don’t become angry easily.
