JOB ยท Chapter 11
11:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
11:2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man
full of talk be justified?
11:3 Should your lies make men hold their peace? and when you mock,
shall no man make you ashamed?
11:4 For you have said, 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, that they are
double to that which is! 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
unto perfection?
11:8 It is as high as heaven; what can you do? deeper than hell; what
can you know?
11:9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than
the sea.
11:10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can
hinder him?
11:11 For he knows vain men: he sees wickedness also; will he not then
consider it?
11:12 For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's
colt.
11:13 If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward
him;
11:14 If iniquity be in your hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness
dwell in your tabernacles.
11:15 For then shall you lift up your face without spot; yea, you shall
be steadfast, and shall not fear:
11:16 Because you shall forget your misery, and remember it as waters
that pass away:
11:17 And your age shall be clearer than the noonday: you shall shine
forth, you shall be as the morning.
11:18 And you shall be secure, because there is hope; yea, you shall
dig about you, and you shall take your rest in safety.
11:19 Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; yea,
many shall make suit unto you.
11:20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape,
and their hope shall be as the giving up of the spirit.
