12 I gave you my attention,
    and, behold, there was none among you who refuted Job
    or who answered his words.
13 Beware (A)lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom;
    God may vanquish him, not a man.’
14 He has not directed his words against me,
    and I will not answer him with your speeches.

12     I gave you my full attention.
But not one of you has proved Job wrong;
    none of you has answered his arguments.(A)
13 Do not say, ‘We have found wisdom;(B)
    let God, not a man, refute(C) him.’
14 But Job has not marshaled his words against me,(D)
    and I will not answer him with your arguments.

And surely not one of you convinced Job,
Or answered his words—
13 (A)Lest you say,

14 Now he has not [a]directed his words against me;
So I will not answer him with your words.
