| | Job 11:1 | And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
| |
| | Job 11:2 | Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man of much talk be justified?
| |
| | Job 11:3 | Should thy fictions make men hold their peace? and shouldest thou mock, and no one make [thee] ashamed?
| |
| | Job 11:4 | For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
| |
| | Job 11:5 | But oh that +God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
| |
| | Job 11:6 | And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, how that they are the double of what is realised; and know that +God passeth by [much] of thine iniquity!
| |
| | Job 11:7 | Canst thou by searching find out +God? canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
| |
| | Job 11:8 | [It is as] the heights of heaven; what wilt thou do? deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?
| |
| | Job 11:9 | The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
| |
| | Job 11:10 | If he pass by, and shut up, and call to judgment, who can hinder him?
| |
| | Job 11:11 | For he knoweth vain men, and seeth wickedness when [man] doth not consider it;
| |
| | Job 11:12 | Yet a senseless man will make bold, though man be born [like] the foal of a wild ass.
| |
| | Job 11:13 | If thou prepare thy heart and stretch out thy hands toward him,
| |
| | Job 11:14 | If thou put far away the iniquity which is in thy hand, and let not wrong dwell in thy tents;
| |
| | Job 11:15 | Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot, and thou shalt be stedfast and shalt not fear:
| |
| | Job 11:16 | For thou shalt forget misery; as waters that are passed away shalt thou remember it;
| |
| | Job 11:17 | And life shall arise brighter than noonday; though thou be enshrouded in darkness, thou shalt be as the morning,
| |
| | Job 11:18 | And thou shalt have confidence, because there shall be hope; and having searched about [thee], thou shalt take rest in safety.
| |
| | Job 11:19 | Yea, thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and many shall seek thy favour.
| |
| | Job 11:20 | But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and [all] refuge shall vanish from them, and their hope [shall be] the breathing out of life.
