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

11 “Behold, I waited for your words,
    I listened for your wise sayings,

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.’
