8. Have you heard the counsel of God?And do you restrict wisdom to yourself?
9. What do you know that we do not know?What do you understand that is not in us?
10. Both the gray-haired and very aged are among us—much older than your father.
11. Are the consolations of God too small for you?Or the word spoken gently to you?
12. Why does your heart carry you away?And what do your eyes wink at,
13. that you turn your spirit against God,and let such words go out of your mouth?
14. “What is man that he should be pure?And he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15. Behold, He puts no trust in His holy ones,and the heavens are not pure in His sight.
