Job 5:27

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Behold this, we searched it out, so it is: hear it, and know thou for thyself.

See the chapter Copy

Great the works of Jehovah, sought out to all their desires.

If thou wert wise, thou wert wise for thyself: and thou mockedst, thou alone shalt suffer.

To watch the commands of Jehovah and his laws which I command thee this day, to be good for thee?

Shall a man profit to God as he understanding shall profit for himself?

I will show thee, hear to me; and that I saw I will recount;

Verily that ye are the people, and shall wisdom die with you?

Thou shalt come in old age to thy grave, as the ascending of a heap of sheaves in its time.

And Job will answer and say,

Behold all mine eye saw, and mine ear heard, and it will understand for it
