Job 15:8–10

8 Do you listen in on God’s council?

Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?

9 What do you know that we do not know?

What insights do you have that we do not have?

10 The gray-haired and the aged are on our side,

men even older than your father.

8 Hast thou heard the secret of God?

And dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

9 What knowest thou, that we know not?

What understandest thou, which is not in us?

10 With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men,

Much elder than thy father.

8 Were you listening at God’s secret council?

Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?

9 What do you know that we don’t?

What do you understand that we do not?

10 On our side are aged, gray-haired men

much older than your father!

8 Have you heard the counsel of God?

Do you limit 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 the aged are among us,

Much older than your father.

8 You did not listen in on God’s secret council.

But you limit wisdom to yourself.

9 You don’t know any more than we know.

You don’t understand any more than we understand.

10 Old people with gray hair are on our side;

they are even older than your father.

8 Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God?

And dost thou limit wisdom to thyself?

9 What knowest thou, that we know not?

What understandest thou, which is not in us?

10 With us are both the grayheaded and the very aged men,

Much elder than thy father.

8 Hast thou listened in the secret council of †God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself? 9 What knowest thou that we know not? what understandest thou which is not in us? 10 Both the greyheaded and the aged are with us, older than thy father.

8 Did you listen in on God’s council meeting 

and receive a monopoly on wisdom? 

9 What do you know that we don’t know? 

What do you understand that we don’t? 

10 Both the old and the gray-haired are among us. 

They are older than your father. 

8 Do you listen in on the council of God,

or have a monopoly on wisdom?

9 What do you know that we don’t?

What do you understand that is not clear to us?

10 Both the gray-haired and the elderly are with us,

men older than your father.

8 Have you listened in the council of God?

And do you limit wisdom to yourself?

9 What do you know that we do not know?

What do you understand that is not clear to us?

10 The gray-haired and the aged are on our side,

those older than your father.

8 Have you listened in God’s confidential discussion?

And do you limit wisdom to yourself?

9 What do you know that we do not know?

What do you understand that is not clear to us?

10 Both the gray-haired and the old are among us—

those older than your father.

8 Do you listen in when God speaks with his angels?

Do you think you are the only wise person?

9 What do you know that we don’t know?

What understanding do you have that we don’t have?

10 People who are old and gray are on our side.

And they are even older than your parents!

8 “Do you hear the secret counsel of God,

And limit wisdom to yourself?

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

What do you understand that we do not?

10 “Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us,

Older than your father.
