My heart is honest,\par so I will speak honest words.\par I will speak the truth\par about the things I know.\par
“Job, if you were really wise,\par you wouldn‘t answer with\par your worthless personal opinions!\par A wise man would not be so full\par of hot air.\par
then my lips will not speak evil things,\par and my tongue will never tell a lie.\par
I must treat Job the same\par as I would treat any other person.\par I will not try to say nice things to him.\par \{I will say what I must say.\}\par
I can’t treat one person\par better another person!\par If I did that,\par
I am ready to speak.\par
“Who is this ignorant person\par that is saying these foolish things?” {\cf2\super [79]} \par
But now, please study my face.\par I would not lie to you.\par
When a wise person speaks, other people want to listen. But a foolish person speaks only foolishness.
Wise people say things that give you new information. But foolish people say nothing worth hearing.
Gold and jewels can make a man rich. But a person who knows what he is talking about is worth much, much more.
Why? Because the things I teach you are important and good. So don’t ever forget my teachings.
