11:1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
11:2 Shouldn't the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified? 11:3 Should your boastings make men hold their peace? And when you mock, will no man make you ashamed? 11:4 For you say, My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in your eyes. 11:5 But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against you, 11:6 And that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves. 11:7 Can you by searching find out God? Can you find out the Almighty to perfection? 11:8 At the height of heaven, what can you do? Deeper than Sheol; what can you know? 11:9 The measure of it is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea. 11:10 If he passes through, and shuts up, And calls to judgment, then who can hinder him? 11:11 For he knows false men: He sees iniquity also, even though he does not consider it. 11:12 But a vain man is void of understanding, Yes, man is born [as] a wild donkey's colt. 11:13 If you set your heart aright, And stretch out your hands toward him; 11:14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, And don't let unrighteousness stay in your tents. 11:15 Surely then you will lift up your face without spot; Yes, you will be steadfast, and will not fear: 11:16 For you will forget your misery; You will remember it as waters that are passed away, 11:17 And [your] lifetime will be clearer than the noonday; Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning. 11:18 And you will be secure, because there is hope; Yes, you will search [about you], and will take your rest in safety. 11:19 Also you will lie down, and none will make you afraid; Yes, many will entreat your favor. 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they will have no way to flee; And their hope will be the breathing out of the soul. |
