My ear has heard and understood it.

I am not inferior to you.

³

“But I would speak to^athe Almighty,
And I desire to argue with God.

⁴

“But you smear with lies;
You are all worthless physicians.

⁵

“O that you would be completely silent,
And that it would become your wisdom!

⁶

“Please hear my argument
And listen to the contentions of my lips.

⁷

“Will you speak what is unjust for God,
And speak what is deceitful for Him?

⁸

“Will you show partiality for Him?
Will you contend for God?

⁹

“Will it be well when He examines you?
Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?

¹⁰

“He will surely reprove you
If you secretly show partiality.

¹¹

“Will not His^bmajesty terrify you,
And the dread of Him fall on you?

¹²

“Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes,
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
