“Wait for me a little, and I will show you
That there [a]is still more to be said on God’s behalf.

And ascribe (A)righteousness to my Maker.
For truly (B)my words are not false;
One who is (C)perfect in knowledge is with you.

because what I have to say isn’t deceptive,
    and the one who has perfect knowledge is with you.”
