Job 11:4-5

Context

11:4 For you have said, ‘My teaching 1  is flawless,

and I am pure in your sight.’

11:5 But if only God would speak, 2 

if only he would open his lips against you, 3 

1 tn The word translated “teaching” is related etymologically to the Hebrew word “receive,” but that does not restrict the teaching to what is received.

2 tn The wish formula מִי־יִתֵּן (mi yitten, “who will give”; see GKC 477 §151.b) is followed here by an infinitive (Exod 16:3; 2 Sam 19:1).

3 sn Job had expressed his eagerness to challenge God; Zophar here wishes that God would take up that challenge.
