Job 11:2

Verse 2 of 20. The 11th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,

2“Shouldn’t the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?

3Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, will no man make you ashamed?

4For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.’

5But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you,

6that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
