2. Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
3. Should thy falsehoods make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
4. For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thy eyes.
5. But Oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
6. And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thy iniquity deserveth.
