Job 26:3

¹⁵My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure. ¹⁶I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone. ¹⁷God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works. ¹⁸Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

⁸Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? ⁹What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand which is not in us? ¹⁰With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older than your father.

³But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn’t know such things as these?

²“Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

¹³Isn’t it that I have no help in me, that wisdom is driven away from me?

²⁷for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

³³If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

²⁰how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

¹Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world, ²both low and high, rich and poor together. ³My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart will utter understanding. ⁴I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will solve my riddle on the harp.

⁵Oh that you would be completely silent! Then you would be wise.
