Job 15:8

Do you listen in on God’s secret council? ¹  Do you limit ²  wisdom to yourself?

Do you listen in on God’s council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

"Do you hear the secret counsel of God, And limit wisdom to yourself?

Were you listening at God’s secret council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?

Were you listening in when God planned all this? Do you think you're the only one who knows anything?

Were you present at the secret meeting of God? and have you taken all wisdom for yourself?

Have you listened in the council of God? And do you limit wisdom to yourself?

Have you heard the counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

Do you listen in on God’s secret council? ¹  Do you limit ²  wisdom to yourself?

¹ tn The meaning of סוֹד (sod) is “confidence.” In the context the implication is “secret counsel” of the Lord God (see Jer 23:18). It is a question of confidence on the part of God, that only wisdom can know (see Prov 8:30,31). Job seemed to them to claim to have access to the mind of God.

² tn In v. 4 the word meant “limit”; here it has a slightly different sense, namely, “to reserve for oneself.”
