Job 34:35

For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”

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

What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand which is not in us?

Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

Yahweh, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.

Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?

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

desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

“How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me. Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.

Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.

Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?

“There are three things which are too amazing for me, four which I don’t understand:

Ephraim feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. They make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.

Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”

After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth.

‘Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?

who does great things that can’t be fathomed, marvelous things without number;

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

“Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?

If he is pleased to contend with him, he can’t answer him one time in a thousand.

yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes will abhor me.

What you know, I know also. I am not inferior to you.

See now, I have set my cause in order. I know that I am righteous.

“Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

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

I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,

If it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?”

How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.

See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.

My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.

For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.”

Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.

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

You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.

It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.

If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

For there is not a word on my tongue, but, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.

Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.

In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity, and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.

A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?

Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell among a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!”

He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can’t deliver his soul, nor say, “Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”

You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”

But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”

He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
