Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed? {lies: or, devices}
For thou hast said, My doctrine {is} pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that {they are} double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee {less} than thine iniquity {deserveth}.
