Job 18:2

Modern King James Version

Until when will you set a snare for words? Understand, and afterwards we will speak.

See the chapter Copy

Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

If one answers a matter before he hears, it is folly and shame to him.

However, Job, please hear my speeches, and listen to all my words.

Listen carefully to my speech, and let this be your comfort.

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

How long will you speak these things, since the words of your mouth are like a strong wind?

There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest;

And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

Why are we counted as cattle, or seem stupid in your sight?
