Job 11:5

But if only God would speak, ¹  if only he would open his lips against you, ² 

Oh, how I wish that God would speak, that he would open his lips against you

"But would that God might speak, And open His lips against you,

If only God would speak; if only he would tell you what he thinks!

How I wish God would give you a piece of his mind, tell you what's what!

But if only God would take up the word, opening his lips in argument with you;

But oh, that God would speak, and open his lips to you,

But oh, that God would speak, And open His lips against you,

But if only God would speak, ¹  if only he would open his lips against you, ² 

¹ 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).

² sn Job had expressed his eagerness to challenge God; Zophar here wishes that God would take up that challenge.
