Holy Scripture

Job 26:3

A church father on this verse
“To whom hast thou given counsel? perchance to him that hath not wisdom? To 'give counsel to one that is foolish' is an office of charity, to give it to one that is wise, of ostentation; but to give it to Wisdom Itself, of wrongmindedness; and because those who we have said bear the likeness of heretics, by their mode…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XVII

Original

3To whom hast thou given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? Whom wilt thou follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
