How have you given counsel to the unwise, or declared sound advice to many?
“For I kept not back from declaring to you all the counsel of Elohim.
as I kept back no matter that was profitable, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house,
“Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
If not, listen to me, keep silent, and let me teach you wisdom.”
My words are from the uprightness of my heart, my lips shall speak knowledge clearly.
But please, come back again, all of you, for I do not find a wise one among you.
If you would only be silent, then it would be your wisdom!
But I, like you, have a heart too; I am not less than you. And who does not know such as these?
Is my help not within me? And is ability driven from me?
“How have you helped the powerless, saved an arm not strong?
With whom have you spoken words? And whose spirit came from you?
“Truly you are the people, and wisdom would die with you!
