For empty-minded man takes heart, and man is born a wild ass’s colt.
Should not a multitude of words be answered? And should a man of lips be justified?
and would tell you the secrets of wisdom, that there is a doubling for counsel? Know then that God forgets some of your iniquity for you.
And Job answered and said:
