An appeal to age

7Were you born the first man, and were you brought forth before the hills?

8Have you listened in the council of God, and restricted wisdom to yourself?

9What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that we do not have?

10Among us are both gray-haired and aged men, older than your father.

11Are God's consolations too small for you, and a word spoken gently to you?

12Why does your heart carry you away, and why do your eyes wink?

13that you turn your spirit against God and bring words out of your mouth?
