Job’s Reply to Zophar Then Job answered:
“Listen carefully to my words; let this be the consolation you offer me.
Bear with me and I will speak, and after I have spoken you may mock.
Is my complaint against a man? If so, why should I not be impatient?
Look at me and be appalled; put your hands over your mouths.
For, when I think about this, I am terrified and my body feels a shudder.
