Job 18:2

English Standard Version 2016

“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and then we will speak.

See the chapter Copy

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;

If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.

“But now, hear my speech, O Job, and listen to all my words.

“Keep listening to my words, and let this be your comfort.

“Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and a man full of talk be judged right?

“How long will you say these things, and the words of your mouth be a great wind?

There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest.

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

Why are we counted as cattle? Why are we stupid in your sight?
