Job 11,5

3 Skal ditt tomme prat bringe andre til taushet?
Vil ingen rette på deg når du håner?

4 Du hevder, ‘Min lære er ren,
og jeg er ren i dine øyne.’

Å, at Gud ville tale
og åpne sine lepper mot deg,

6 og åpenbare for deg visdommens hemmeligheter,
for sann visdom har to sider.
Vær trygg på at Gud har oversett noe av din misgjerning.

7 «Kan du forstå Guds mysterier?
Kan du utforske Den Allmektiges grenser?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
