Job 11:4

Job 11:4

2 “Should not the multitude of words be answered?
And should¹ a man full of talk be vindicated?

3 Should your empty talk make men¹ hold their peace?
And when you mock, should no one rebuke you?

4 For you have said,
^a‘My doctrine is pure,
And I am clean in your eyes.’

5 But oh, that God would speak,
And open His lips against you,

6 That He would show you the secrets of wisdom!
For they would double your prudence.
Know therefore that ^aGod exacts from you
Less than your iniquity deserves.

doctrine—purposely used of Job's speeches, which sounded like lessons of doctrine (Deuteronomy 32:2; Proverbs 4:2).

thine—addressed to God. Job had maintained his sincerity against his friends suspicions, not faultlessness.
