Job 15:7

Job 15:7

Compare all

5 For your iniquity teaches your mouth,
And you choose the tongue of the crafty.

6 ^aYour own mouth condemns you, and not I;
Yes, your own lips testify against you.

7 “Are you the first man who was born?
^aOr were you made before the hills?

8 ^aHave you heard the counsel of God?
Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

9 ^aWhat do you know that we do not know?
What do you understand that is not in us?

10 ^aBoth the gray-haired and the aged are among us,
Much older than your father.

<< Job 15:6

Job 15:8 >>

That is, Art thou wisdom personified? Wisdom existed before the hills; that is, the eternal Son of God (Proverbs 8:25; Psalms 90:2). Wast thou in existence before Adam? The farther back one existed, the nearer he was to the Eternal Wisdom.
