2 Should all these words go unansweredor 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 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.
7 Can you find the secret of Godor find the extent of the Almighty?
8 They are higher than the heavens—what can you do?Deeper than the underworld—what can you know?
