“I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.”
"I hear censure that puts me to shame, and out of my understanding a spirit answers me." Zophar feels rebuked. He hears Job's implicit censure of the friends, and this censure is shameful to him. Yet he claims that his spirit—his insight—rises to respond. The verse expresses both hurt and defiant reaffirmation of the friends' position.
