“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

9For what knowest thou, that we know not? Or what understandest thou, which we do not also?

10Truly among us are both the old and very aged man, More advanced in days than thy father.

— Job 15:11 —

13That thou hast vented thy rage before the Lord, And delivered such words from thy mouth?
