Job 5:27

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

“Please inquire of past generations,
And consider the things searched out by their fathers.

“Truly then you are the people,
And with you wisdom will die!

“What do you know that we do not know?
What do you understand that we do not?

“Behold, I waited for your words,
I listened to your reasonings,
While you pondered what to say.

Great are the works of the Lord;

They are

studied by all who delight in them.

For if you cry for discernment,

Lift your voice for understanding;

“Can a vigorous man be of use to God,
Or a wise man be useful to himself?

and to keep the Lord’s commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself,
And if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
