Job 18:2

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? Mark, and afterwards we will speak.

See the chapter Copy

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, It is folly and shame unto him.

Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, And hearken to all my words.

Hear diligently my speech, And let this be your consolations.

Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?

How long wilt thou speak these things? And how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?

There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary be at rest.

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Wherefore are we counted as beasts, And reputed vile in your sight?
