How have you advised those not wise, or fully declared wise plans?
For truly you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.
But I have understanding as well as you; I do not fall short of you; yes, who does not know such things as these?
Oh that you would stop speaking entirely! And it would be your wisdom.
And now all of them, go back, and please come again; and I shall not find among you a wise man.
How have you helped the powerless, or saved the arm that has no strength?
To whom have you spoken words? And whose spirit came from you?
my words shall be from my upright heart, and my lips will clearly speak knowledge.
If not, listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.
Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
Is not my help in me? And is wisdom fully driven away from me?
and how I kept back nothing that was profitable, but have shown you and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
For I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.
