Behold, this we have searched out; it is true. Hear, and know it for your good.”

and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good?

“Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

“I will show you; hear me, and what I have seen I will declare

“No doubt you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.

You shall come to your grave in ripe old age, like a sheaf gathered up in its season.

Then Job answered and said:

“Behold, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it.
