5 But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee,ASV — Job 11:5

6 And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.ASV — Job 11:6

8 It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?ASV — Job 11:8
