“Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?”
Zophar asserts that should a multitude of words go unanswered and should a man full of talk be justified, criticizing Job's extensive speech as inappropriate. The implied answer is that such a man should not be justified; his verbosity does not constitute wisdom. Zophar's criticism of Job's speech suggests that he views lament itself as a form of rebellion.
