² "Should ^(b)a multitude of words go unanswered,
    and a man full of talk be judged right?
³ Should your babble silence men,
    and when you mock, shall no one shame you?
⁴ For ^(c)you say, ‘My ^(d)doctrine is pure,
    and I am clean in God's^[a] eyes.'
⁵ But oh, that God would speak
    and open his lips to you,
⁶ and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom!
    For he is manifold in ^(e)understanding.^[b]
Know then that God ^(f)exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.

^7 (g)"Can you find out the deep things of God?
    Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
⁸ It is ^(h)higher than heaven^[c]—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 ⁽ⁱ⁾passes through and ^(j)imprisons
    and summons the court, who can ^(k)turn him back?
¹¹ For he knows ^(l)worthless men;
    when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?
¹² But a stupid man will get understanding
    when ^(m)a wild donkey's colt is ⁽ⁿ⁾born a man!

¹³ "If you ^(o)prepare your heart,
    you will ^(p)stretch out your hands toward him.
¹⁴ If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
    and let not injustice dwell in your tents.
¹⁵ Surely then you will ^(q)lift up your face without ^(r)blemish;
    you will be secure and will not fear.
¹⁶ You will ^(s)forget your misery;
    you will remember it as waters that have passed away.
¹⁷ And your life will be ^(t)brighter than the noonday;
    its darkness will be like the morning.
¹⁸ And you will feel secure, because there is hope;
    you will look around and ^(u)take your rest in security.
¹⁹ You will ^(v)lie down, and none will make you afraid;
    many will ^(w)court your favor.
²⁰ But ^(x)the eyes of the wicked will fail;
    all way of escape will be lost to them,
    and their hope is ^(y)to breathe their last."
