10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me;
let me also declare my knowledge myself.’
11 “Look, I waited for your[a] words;
I listened for your[b] insight,
until you searched out what to say.[c]
12 And I directed my attention to you;[d]
and, look, there is no one for Job who refuted,
answering his words among you.

13 Be careful you don’t say, “We’ve found wisdom;
    God, not a person, will defeat him.”

14 Now Job[a] hasn’t addressed me,
    and I won’t quote you to him.
