Job 11:1-6

1Then Zophar the Naamathite replied to Job:

2“Shouldn’t someone answer this torrent of words? Is a person proved innocent just by a lot of talking?

3Should I remain silent while you babble on? When you mock God, shouldn’t someone make you ashamed?

4You claim, ‘My beliefs are pure,’ and ‘I am clean in the sight of God.’

5If only God would speak; if only he would tell you what he thinks!

6If only he would tell you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom is not a simple matter. Listen! God is doubtless punishing you far less than you deserve!
