that he responds to no one’s words?

14 For God does speak—now one way, now another—

though no one perceives it.

13 Why dost thou strive against him?

14 For God speaketh once,

Yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

14 For God speaks again and again,

though people do not recognize it.

13 Why do you contend with Him?

For He does not give an accounting of any of His words.

14 For God may speak in one way, or in another,

Yet man does not perceive it.

13 Why do you accuse God

of not answering anyone?

for not answering anything a person asks?

saying, ‘He will answer none of my words’?

14 For God speaks in one way,

and in two, though people do not perceive it.

that he will not answer all a person’s words?

14 Indeed, God speaks in one way,

even in two, yet someone does not perceive it.

13 Why do you claim that God

never answers any of our questions?

14 He speaks in one way and then another.
