Job 32:10-14

The Voice

¹⁰ And so I say, “Listen to me, Job,
and I, even I, will explain what I know.”

¹¹    (turning to the three friends) After all, I waited while each of you three spoke;
        I lent my ear to your insights
        while you searched for what to say, looking for the right words.
¹²    I paid you my utmost attention, but hear this!
        Not one of you countered Job with a decent argument;
        not one rebutted his statements of the case.
¹³    And don’t you dare fall back on the easy reply:
        “We have found wisdom;
        let God rebuke him, not just any old human!”
¹⁴    I will answer him differently,
        for he has not assembled his words against me.
        I will not answer him with your overly personalized and insufficient arguments.
