American Standard Version
"Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed? "
— Job 11:3, American Standard Version
“Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?”
“Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?”
“Should people remain silent at your idle talk, and should no one rebuke you when you mock?”
“Shall men hold their peace to thee only? and when thou hast mocked others, shall no man confute thee?”
“Are your words of pride to make men keep quiet? and are you to make sport, with no one to put you to shame?”
“Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?”
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?
Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in thine eyes.
But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee,
And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
