Job 11:1-6

1Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:

2"Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and a man full of talk be judged right?

3Should your babble silence men, and when you mock, shall no one shame you?

4For you say, 'My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in God's eyes.'

5But oh, that God would speak and open his lips to you,

6and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.
