Question Presented (OCR Extract)

No question identified. : Preface . Pay heed and hear me, be still and I will speak; If you have what to say, answer me; But if not, listen to me; Be still and I will teach you wisdom. But where does wisdom come? Where is the source of understanding? See! Fear of the Lord is wisdom; to shun Evil is understanding; no man can set a value on the for it is the breath of El Shaddai from which they come. It is not the aged who are wise, nor the elders who understand how to judge. As long as there is life in me, and God’s breath is in my,nostrils, my lips will speak no wrong, nor my tongue utter deceit. Until I die I will maintain my integrity, I persist in my righteousness and I will not yield; I shall be free of reproach as long as I live. I would not temper my speech for anyone’s sake nor show regards for any man, for I do not know how to temper my speechmy maker would soon carry me off. My words bespeak the uprightness of my heart, my lips utter insight honestly, the spirit of God formed me; The Breath of El Shaddai sustains me. You and I are the same before God. I too was . nipped from clay. Listen, o wise ones, to my words you who have knowledge, give ear to me; Do you know the Laws Of Heaven or impose its Authority on Earth? For the ear test arguments, as the palate taste food. If God but intends it. He can call back his spirit and breath; all flesh would at once expire, and all mankind return to oust. See God is greater than we can know; The number | of his years cannot be counted. He keeps turning events by his stratagems, that they might accomplish all that he commands them throughout the inhabited earth. Whoever confronts me I will requite, for everything under the Heavens is mine Declares the Lord. Remember, then, to magnify his works, of which men have have sung. a
