“And yet, O Iyoḇ
Please hear my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.
And He said to them, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
“Hear my words, you wise men; give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
For I do not know how to flatter, lest my Maker should soon take me away!
See, please! I shall open my mouth, my tongue shall speak in my mouth.
Listen closely to my words, and with your ears to what I say.
