“How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?”
“How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove?”
“How painful are honest words! But what does your reproof prove?”
“Why have you detracted the words of truth, whereas there is none of you that can reprove me?”
“How pleasing are upright words! but what force is there in your arguments?”
“How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?”
Did I say, Give unto me? Or, Offer a present for me of your substance?
Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?
Teach me, and I will hold my peace; And cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what doth it reprove?
Do ye think to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind?
Yea, ye would castlotsupon the fatherless, And make merchandise of your friend.
Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; For surely I shall not lie to your face.
