10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me;
    let me also declare my opinion.’

11 “See, I waited for your words;
    I listened for your wise sayings
    while you searched out what to say.(A)
12 I gave you my attention,
    but there was, in fact, no one who confuted Job,
    no one among you who answered his words.
13 Yet do not say, ‘We have found wisdom;
    God may vanquish him, not a human.’(B)
14 He has not directed his words against me,
    and I will not answer him with your speeches.

    listened while you reasoned,
    while you searched for words.
12 I was attentive to you,
    but you offered no rebuke to Job,
    no answer from you for his words.
13 Be careful you don’t say, “We’ve found wisdom;

    and I won’t quote you to him.

10 “Therefore I say: Listen to me;(A)
    I too will tell you what I know.(B)
11 I waited while you spoke,
    I listened to your reasoning;
while you were searching for words,
12     I gave you my full attention.
But not one of you has proved Job wrong;
    none of you has answered his arguments.(C)
13 Do not say, ‘We have found wisdom;(D)
    let God, not a man, refute(E) him.’
14 But Job has not marshaled his words against me,(F)
    and I will not answer him with your arguments.
