2 ‘Are all these words to go unanswered?Is this talker to be vindicated?
3 Will your idle talk reduce others to silence?Will no one rebuke you when you mock?
4 You say to God, “My beliefs are flawlessand I am pure in your sight.”
5 Oh, how I wish that God would speak,that he would open his lips against you
6 and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom,for true wisdom has two sides.Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.
7 ‘Can you fathom the mysteries of God?Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
