"I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame; And the spirit of my understanding answereth me. "
— Job 20:3, American Standard Version
“I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.”
“I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.”
“When I hear a reproof that dishonors me, then my understanding prompts me to answer.”
“The doctrine with which thou reprovest me, I will hear, and the spirit of my understanding shall answer for me.”
“I have to give ear to arguments which put me to shame, and your answers to me are wind without wisdom.”
“I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.”
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, Even by reason of my haste that is in me.
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame; And the spirit of my understanding answereth me.
Knowest thou notthis of old time, Since man was placed upon earth,
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?
Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds;
