8 Were you listening at God’s secret council?Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?
9 What do you know that we don’t?What do you understand that we do not?
10 On our side are aged, gray-haired menmuch older than your father!
11 “Is God’s comfort too little for you?Is his gentle word not enough?
12 What has taken away your reason?What has weakened your vision,
13 that you turn against Godand say all these evil things?
14 Can any mortal be pure?Can anyone born of a woman be just?
