How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known my transgressions and my sin.
Behold, I waited for your words; I listened to your reasons, while you searched out what to say.
However, Job, please hear my speeches, and listen to all my words.
Besides what I see, You teach me; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more.
Behold this: we have searched it; it is so. Hear it and know for yourself.
or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand; or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you, My eye shall be on you.
As a ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon a hearing ear.
Give to a wise one, and he will be still wiser; teach a just one, and he will increase in learning.

For in many things we all offend. If anyone does not offend in word, the same is a full-grown man, able also to bridle the whole body.
