2-3. Job, if you had any sense,you would stop spreadingall this hot air.
4. Your words are enoughto make others turn from Godand lead them to doubt.
5. And your sinful, scheming mindis the source of all you say.
6. I am not here as your judge;your own words are witnessesagainst you.
7. Were you the first human?Are you older than the hills?
8. Have you ever been presentwhen God's council meets?Do you alone have wisdom?
9. Do you know and understandsomething we don't?
10. We have the benefit of wisdomolder than your father.
