New International Version (NIV)

2“Are all these words to go unanswered?

Is this talker to be vindicated?

2“Shall a multitude of words go unanswered,

And a talkative man be acquitted?

2“Shall a multitude of words not be answered?

And should a talkative man [making such a long-winded defense] be acquitted?

2“Should this stream of words go unanswered

and such a speaker be vindicated?

2Should not the multitude of words be answered?

And should a man full of talk be justified?

2Should not the multitude of wordes be answered? or should a great talker be iustified?

2“Shouldn’t the multitude of words be answered?

Should a man full of talk be justified?

2“Don’t all your words require an answer?

I’m sure that what you are saying can’t be right.

2‘Someone must answer all these words that you have spoken.

You have talked a lot,

but that does not mean that you are right.

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