²⁵ And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?

²⁴ Earth hath been given Into the hand of the wicked one. The face of its judges he covereth, If not -- where, who `is' he?

²⁸ And, now, please, look upon me, Even to your face do I lie?

² Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified?

³ Thy devices make men keep silent, Thou scornest, and none is causing blushing!

² Doth a wise man answer `with' vain knowledge? And fill `with' an east wind his belly?

⁴ My lips do not speak perverseness, And my tongue doth not utter deceit.
