2“Are all these words to go unanswered?
Is this talker to be vindicated?

3Will your idle talk reduce men to silence?
Will no one rebuke you when you mock?

4You say to God, ‘My beliefs are flawless
and I am pure in your sight.’

5Oh, how I wish that God would speak,
that he would open his lips against you

6and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom,
for true wisdom has two sides.
Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.

9Their measure is longer than the earth
and wider than the sea.

10“If he comes along and confines you in prison
and convenes a court, who can oppose him?

11Surely he recognizes deceitful men;
and when he sees evil, does he not take note?

12But a witless man can no more become wise
than a wild donkey's colt can be born a man.Or wild donkey can be born tame

13“Yet if you devote your heart to him
and stretch out your hands to him,

14if you put away the sin that is in your hand
and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,

15then you will lift up your face without shame;
you will stand firm and without fear.

16You will surely forget your trouble,
recalling it only as waters gone by.

17Life will be brighter than noonday,
and darkness will become like morning.

18You will be secure, because there is hope;
you will look about you and take your rest in safety.

19You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid,
and many will court your favor.

20But the eyes of the wicked will fail,
and escape will elude them;
their hope will become a dying gasp.”
