Job 18:2

New King James Version

“How long till you put an end to words? Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak.

See the chapter Copy

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

“But please, Job, hear my speech, And listen to all my words.

“Listen carefully to my speech, And let this be your consolation.

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

“How long will you speak these things, And the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
