## No doubt ##
"Surely,"
## you are the people ##
"you are the important people who know everything"
## No doubt you are the people; wisdom will die with you. ##
In this figure of speech, Job mocks how they are acting and shows how ridiculous they sound. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony]]). “Surely you are all such important people that wisdom cannot exist without you." AT: "You are all acting like you are the only source of wisdom and without you wisdom would disappear."
## You ##
this is plural in these next two sentences. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-pluralpronouns]])
## Indeed, who does not know such things as these? ##
"In fact, everyone understands these things." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes]])
