Job 11:1-6 (Listen)

Zophar Speaks: You Deserve Worse

11 Then dZophar the Naamathite answered and said:

“Should ea multitude of words go unanswered,

and a man full of talk be judged right?

Should your babble silence men,

and when you mock, shall no one shame you?

For fyou say, ‘My gdoctrine is pure,

and I am clean in God's1 eyes.’

But oh, that God would speak

and open his lips to you,

and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom!

For he is manifold in hunderstanding.2

Know then that God iexacts of you less than your guilt deserves.
