If not, listen to me. Hold your shalom, and I will teach you wisdom.*
My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
Moreover Elihu answered,
Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding.
You simple, understand prudence. You fools, be of an understanding heart.
