Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
