Job 32:14
12 I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
13 So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
15 Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.
16 Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
