To whom hast thou given counsel? In hap to him that hath not wisdom; and thou hast showed full much prudence.
And ye therefore be men alone, and wisdom dwell with you?
And to me is an heart, as and to you, and I am not lower than ye; for who knoweth not these things, which ye know?
And I would, that ye were still, that ye were guessed to be wise men.
Therefore all ye be turned again, and come ye; and I shall not find in you any wise man.
Whose helper art thou? whether of the feeble, and sustainest the arm of him, which is not strong?
Either whom wouldest thou teach? whether not him, that made breathing?
Of simple heart be my words, and my lips shall speak clean sentence.
That if thou hast not, hear thou me; be thou still, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
Who is this man, wrapping together sentences with unwise words?
Lo! none help is to me in me; and also my necessary friends parted from me.
how I withdrew not [or nought] of profitable things to you, that I told not to you, and taught you openly, and by houses;
For I fled [or flew] not away, that I told not to you all the counsel of God.
