job 11

1 - Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,
2 - "Shouldn't the multitude of words be answered?Should a man full of talk be justified?
3 - Should your boastings make men hold their peace?When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?
4 - For you say, 'My doctrine is pure.I am clean in your eyes.'
5 - But oh that God would speak,and open his lips against you,
6 - that he would show you the secrets of wisdom!For true wisdom has two sides.Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
7 - "Can you fathom the mystery of God?Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
8 - They are high as heaven. What can you do?They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?
9 - Its measure is longer than the earth,and broader than the sea.
10 - If he passes by, or confines,or convenes a court, then who can oppose him?
11 - For he knows false men.He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn't consider it.
12 - An empty-headed man becomes wisewhen a man is born as a wild donkey's colt.
13 - "If you set your heart aright,stretch out your hands toward him.
14 - If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away.Don't let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.
15 - Surely then you shall lift up your face without spot;Yes, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
16 - for you shall forget your misery.You shall remember it like waters that have passed away.
17 - Life shall be clearer than the noonday.Though there is darkness, it shall be as the morning.
18 - You shall be secure, because there is hope.Yes, you shall search, and shall take your rest in safety.
19 - Also you shall lie down, and no one shall make you afraid.Yes, many shall court your favor.
20 - But the eyes of the wicked shall fail.They shall have no way to flee.Their hope shall be the giving up of the spirit."
