If not, listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
My words declare the uprightness of my heart, and what my lips know they speak sincerely.
If you have anything to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify you.
Then Elihu said:
Come, O sons, listen to me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
What man is there who desires life, and covets many days, that he may enjoy good?
My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
O simple ones, learn prudence; O foolish men, pay attention.
