Job 11:2-12

2 "Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and should one full of talk be vindicated?
3 Should your babble put others to silence, and when you mock, shall no one shame you?
4 For you say, "My conduct is pure, and I am clean in God's sight.'
5 But O that God would speak, and open his lips to you,
6 and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For wisdom is many-sided. Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.
7 "Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
8 It is higher than heaven —what can you do? Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
9 Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 If he passes through, and imprisons, and assembles for judgment, who can hinder him?
11 For he knows those who are worthless; when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?
12 But a stupid person will get understanding, when a wild ass is born human.
