Job
Chapter 11
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man
full of talk be justified?
3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest,
shall no man make thee ashamed?
4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine
eyes.
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are
double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less
than thine iniquity deserveth.
7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the
Almighty unto perfection?
8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell;
what canst thou know?
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than
the sea.
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can
hinder him?
11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not
then consider it?
12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's
colt.
13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward
him;
14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not
wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou
shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters
that pass away:
17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt
shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt
dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea,
many shall make suit unto thee.
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 ghost.
