Job 13:6

It shall happen, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.

“These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

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

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

All Israel, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark before the Levitical priests, who carried the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, the foreigner as well as the native; half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.

Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:

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

“Surely I would speak to the Almighty. I desire to reason with God.

Listen carefully to my speech. Let my declaration be in your ears.

“I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare

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

“Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.

I would set my cause in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”

Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.

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

Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:

Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.

We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength! Lift it up! Don’t be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold, your God!”

He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”

I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.
