How didst thou counsel to him of no wisdom? and didst thou make known help for abundance?
Verily that ye are the people, and shall wisdom die with you?
Also to me a heart like you; I fall not more than you: and with whom not like these?
Who will give silence? Ye shall be silent, and it shall be to you for wisdom.
But ye all shall turn back, and come ye now, and I shall not find a wise one among you.
How didst thou help to him of no strength? didst thou save the arm of no strength?
And with whom didst thou announce words? and whose breath came forth from thee?
My sayings the uprightness of my heart, and my lips spake knowledge purely.
If not, hear thou to me: be silent, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
Who this darkening counsel in words without knowledge?
And if not my help in me? and deliverance fled from me?
how I concealed nothing of things profitable, not to announce to you, and teach you publicly, and in the houses,
For I concealed not to announce to you all the counsel of God.
