Job 18:2How long wilt thou continue? forbear, that we also may speak.
Job 18:3For wherefore have we been silent before thee like brutes?
Job 18:4Anger has possessed thee: for what if thou shouldest die; would the earth under heaven be desolate? or shall the mountains be overthrown from their foundations?
