1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
2 “Should a multitude of words go unanswered,and a man full of talk be judged right?
3 Should your babble silence men,and when you mock, shall no one shame you?
4 For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure,and I am clean in God’s eyes.’
5 But oh, that God would speakand open his lips to you,
6 and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom!For he is manifold in understanding.Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.
