Job 11:5 · American Standard Version

Job 11:5 in context

  1. 3Should your boastings make men hold their peace?
    When you mock, will no man make you ashamed?
  2. 4For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure.
    I am clean in your eyes.’
  3. 5But oh that God would speak,
    and open his lips against you,
  4. 6that he would show you the secrets of wisdom!
    For true wisdom has two sides.
    Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
  5. 7“Can you fathom the mystery of God?
    Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
