Job 21:2

¹Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

¹¹Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?

⁷When they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim and lifted up his voice, cried out, and said to them, “Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.

²“I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!

²Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which doesn’t satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in richness.

²“Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.

³“Surely I would speak to the Almighty. I desire to reason with God. ⁴But you are forgers of lies. You are all physicians of no value.

²“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

¹“However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.

³¹Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak. ³²If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you. ³³If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”
