² For behold, I have opened my mouth, and my tongue has spoken.

⁸ But you have said in mine ears, (I have heard the voice of your words;) because you say, I am pure, not having sinned; ⁹ I am blameless, for I have not transgressed. ¹⁰ Yet he has discovered a charge against me, and he has reckoned me as an adversary. ¹¹ And he has put my foot in the stocks, and has watched all my ways. ¹² For how say you, I am righteous, yet he has not listened to me? for he that is above mortals is eternal.

³⁵ But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not [uttered] with knowledge. ³⁶ Howbeit do you learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish: ³⁷ that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if [we] speak many words before the Lord.

² Who is this that hides counsel from me, and confines words in [his] heart, and thinks to conceal [them] from me?
