Bible verse
But if only God would speak and open His lips against you,
Job 11:5 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 11.
1 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
2 “Should this stream of words go unanswered and such a speaker be vindicated?
3 Should your babbling put others to silence? Will you scoff without rebuke?
4 You have said, ‘My doctrine is sound, and I am pure in Your sight.’
5 But if only God would speak and open His lips against you,
6 and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know then that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves.
7 Can you fathom the deep things of God or discover the limits of the Almighty?
8 They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
9 Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
KJV
But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
ASV
But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee,

But Oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
