Bible verse
Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,
Job 32:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 32.
7 I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.
8 But there is a spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
9 It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’
11 Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,
12 I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
13 So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
14 But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
15 Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.
