“Ver. 11. Is it a great thing that God should console thee? But thine evil words prevent this. As if he said to him in plain words; 'If thou wouldest amend thy profession of faith, thou mightest long ago have had consolation in thy scourges.'”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XII

In context
9What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
10With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
— Job 15:11 —
12Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
13That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
