Job replied,“ Bildad, you haven’t helped people who aren’t strong! You haven’t saved people who are weak!You haven’t offered advice to those who aren’t wise! In fact, you haven’t understood anything at all!

But you spread lies about me and take away my good name. If you are trying to heal me, you aren’t very good doctors!I wish you would keep your mouths shut! Then people would think you were wise.

But here is what I tell you. On judgment day, everyone will have to account for every empty word they have spoken.By your words you will be found guilty or not guilty.”

Then that person is proud and doesn’t understand anything. They like to argue more than they should. They can’t agree about what words mean. All of this results in wanting what others have. It causes fighting, harmful talk, and evil distrust.It stirs up trouble all the time among people whose minds are twisted by sin. The truth they once had has been taken away from them. They think they can get rich by being godly.

“ I’ve heard many of these things before. All of you are terrible at comforting me!Your speeches go on forever. Won’t they ever end? What’s wrong with you? Why do you keep on arguing?

Let the words you speak always be full of grace. Learn how to make your words what people want to hear. Then you will know how to answer everyone.

“ You have spoken with pride against me,” says the Lord.“ But you ask,‘ What have we spoken against you?’“ You have said,‘ It is useless to serve God. What do we gain by obeying his laws? And what do we get by pretending to be sad in front of the Lord?But now we call proud people blessed. Things go well with those who do what is evil. And God doesn’t even punish those who test him.’ ”
