13638 It is not those merely abundant in days that prove wise,Nor those just old that understand judgment.
13642 That YOU may not say, 'We have found wisdom;It is God that drives him away, not a man.'
13648 Look! My belly is like wine that has no vent;Like new skin bottles it wants to burst open.
13649 Let me speak that it may be a relief to me.I shall open my lips that I may answer.
13664 Why is it against him that you contended,Because all your words he does not answer?
13667 It is then that he uncovers the ear of men,And on exhortation to them he puts his seal,
13668 To turn aside a man from his deed,And that he may cover pride itself from an able-bodied man.
13672 His flesh wastes away from sight,And his bones that were not seen certainly grow bare.
