Job 38:2

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Who this darkening counsel in words without knowledge?

See the chapter Copy

Who this hiding counsel without knowledge? for this, I announced, and I shall not understand; wonders above me, and I shall not know.

And Job will open his mouth in vain; he will bind together words without knowledge.

Wishing to be teachers of the law; neither understanding what they say, nor of certain things they are assured.

Job will speak not with knowledge, and his word not with understanding.

I will teach you by the hand of God: what is with the Almighty I will not hide.

How didst thou counsel to him of no wisdom? and didst thou make known help for abundance?

And if not now, who will cause me to lie, and set my words for nought?

Also to me a heart like you; I fall not more than you: and with whom not like these?
