Bear with me that I may speak, and after I have spoken, mock on.

Pay attention, Job, listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.

If not, listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.

And I appeal to you, brethren, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.

Will you speak unjustly for the Mighty God, and talk deceitfully for Him?

Will you show partiality for Him? Will you contend for the Mighty God?

Behold, I am as your spokesman before the Mighty God; I also have been formed out of clay.

And he shall speak for you to the people. And he shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God.

Therefore thus says Jehovah, If you turn back, then I will bring you back again; you shall stand before Me. And if you take the precious out from the vile, you shall be as My mouth. Let them turn back to you, but do not return to them.

You shall speak My Words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious.

Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ. As God is exhorting through us, we beseech you on Christ's behalf, Be reconciled to God.
