11 I listened patiently while you were speakingand waited while you searched for wise phrases.
12 I paid close attention and heard you fail;you have not disproved what Job has said.
13 How can you claim you have discovered wisdom?God must answer Job, for you have failed.
14 Job was speaking to you, not to me,but I would never answer the way you did.
15 Words have failed them, Job;they have no answer for you.
16 Shall I go on waiting when they are silent?They stand there with nothing more to say.
17 No, I will give my own answer nowand tell you what I think.
