Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. {men: Gr. perfect, or, of a ripe age}

A wise {man} will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

I will shew thee, hear me; and that {which} I have seen I will declare;

Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.

Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, {that he should do} wickedness; and {from} the Almighty, {that he should commit} iniquity. {men...: Heb. men of heart}

Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me. {of...: Heb. of heart}

I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
