Your advice lacks wisdom! You have shown little understanding!
“You really think you are the only wise people and that when you die, wisdom will die with you!
But my mind is as good as yours; you are not better than I am. Everyone knows all these things.
I wish you would just stop talking; then you would really be wise!
“But, all of you, come and try again! I do not find a wise person among you.
“You are no help to the helpless! You have not aided the weak!
Who has helped you say these words? And where did you get these ideas?
My words come from an honest heart, and I am sincere in saying what I know.
But if you have nothing to say, then listen to me; be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.”
“Who is this that makes my purpose unclear by saying things that are not true?
I have no power to help myself, because success has been taken away from me.
You know I preached to you and did not hold back anything that would help you. You know that I taught you in public and in your homes.
because I have told you everything God wants you to know.
