“Bear with me a little, and I will show you;
    for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.

    One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

“Be patient with me a moment longer,

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