Job 11:1 In-Context

1 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied,

2 "Don't all of your words require an answer? I'm sure that what you are saying can't be right.

3 Your useless talk won't keep us quiet. Someone has to correct you when you make fun of truth.

4 You say to God, 'My beliefs are perfect. I'm pure in your sight.'

5 I wish God would speak. I wish he'd answer you.
