"But now, hear my speech, O Job, and listen to all my words.
Keep listening to my words, and let my declaration be in your ears.
Hear now my argument and listen to the pleadings of my lips.
For I do not know how to flatter, else my Maker would soon take me away.
Behold, I open my mouth; the tongue in my mouth speaks.
"Hear my words, you wise men, and give ear to me, you who know;
And he said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
