Job 11:1-6

Common English Bible

² Should all these words go unanswered
    or a wordy man be justified?
³ Will your idle talk silence everyone;
    will you mock and not be put to shame?
⁴ You’ve said, “My teaching is pure,
    and I’m clean in God’s^[a] eyes.”

⁵ But oh, that God would speak,
    open his lips against you
⁶     and tell you secrets of wisdom;
        for sound insight has two sides.
Know that God lets some of your sin be forgotten.
