1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
2 “Should not the multitude of words be answered?And should a man full of talk be vindicated?
3 Should your empty talk make men hold their peace?And when you mock, should no one rebuke you?
4 For you have said,‘My doctrine is pure,And I am clean in your eyes.’
5 But oh, that God would speak,And open His lips against you,
6 That He would show you the secrets of wisdom!For they would double your prudence.Know therefore that God exacts from youLess than your iniquity deserves.
7 “Can you search out the deep things of God?Can you find out the limits of the Almighty?
