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.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 11 of Job. Zophar responds more harshly than Eliphaz and Bildad. He considers Job’s words insufficient and states that God knows secrets beyond human understanding. According to Zophar, Job should acknowledge a guilt that would justify discipline. His speech shows how defending divine wisdom can become an unjust accusation when mechanically applied to another person’s suffering.

und zeigte dir die heimliche Weisheit! Denn er hätte noch wohl mehr an dir zu tun, auf daß du wissest, daß er deiner Sünden nicht aller gedenkt.
Y que te declarara los arcanos de la sabiduría, Que son de doble valor que la hacienda! Conocerías entonces que Dios te ha castigado menos que tu iniquidad merece.
¡Que te revelara los secretos de la sabiduría, pues el buen juicio tiene un doble alcance! Ten presente que Dios pasa por alto parte de tu culpa.
Et s'il te révélait les secrets de sa sagesse, De son immense sagesse, Tu verrais alors qu'il ne te traite pas selon ton iniquité.
E dichiararti i segreti della sapienza; Perciocchè sono doppi; E tu conosceresti che Iddio ti fa portar pena minore Che la tua iniquità non merita di ragione
E te fizesse saber os segredos da sabedoria, que é multíplice em eficácia; sabe, pois, que Deus exige de ti menos do que merece a tua iniqüidade.
願他將智慧的奧祕指示你, 因為健全的知識是兩面的。 你當知道,上帝使你忘記你的一些罪孽。
