Job 11:1-6

Modern English Version

² “Should not the multitude of words be answered?
    And should a man full of talk be justified?
³ Should your empty talk make men hold their peace?
    And when you mock, will no one shame you?
⁴ For you have said, ‘My teaching is pure,
    And I am clean in your eyes.’
⁵ But oh, that God would speak
    and open His lips against you,
⁶ and that He would show you the secrets of wisdom!
    For they would double your prudence.
    And know that God overlooks some of your iniquity.
