Job 32:11

Tree of Life Version

Look, I waited for your words, I listened to your reasoning; while you were searching for words

See the chapter Copy

A rich person is wise in his own eyes, but a discerning poor person sees through him.

The first to state his case seems just, until another comes and cross-examines him.

Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older.

They waited for me as for the rain, and opened their mouths as for spring rain.

“People listened to me and waited, and kept silent for my advice.

Behold, we have investigated this— it is true. Hear it, and apply it to yourself!”

“Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me! I, even I, will explain what I know.’

I gave you my full attention. But behold, no one proved Job wrong; none among you, answered his statements.
