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.

10 So I [a]say, ‘Listen to me,
I too will tell [b]what I think.’

11 “Behold, I waited for your words,
I listened to your skillful speech,
While you [c]pondered what to say.
12 I also paid close attention to you;
But [d]indeed, there was no one who refuted Job,
Not one of you who answered his words.
13 So do not say,
(A)We have found wisdom:
God will [e]defeat him, not man.’
14 But he has not presented his words against me,
Nor will I reply to him with your [f]arguments.
