Men of understanding will say unto me, Yea, every wise man that heareth me:
Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
If now thou hast understanding, hear this: Hearken to the voice of my words.
Hear my words, ye wise men; And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
Shall his recompence be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest.
Job speaketh without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom.
Let us choose for us that which is right: Let us know among ourselves what is good.
I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
