Job  


11 : 1 ThenZophar the Naamathite answered and said:
11 : 2 Shoulda multitude of words go unanswered,and a man full of talk be judged right?
11 : 3 Should your babble silence men,and when you mock, shall no one shame you?
11 : 4 Foryou say,Mydoctrine is pure,and I am clean in God'seyes.
11 : 5 But oh, that God would speakand open his lips to you,
11 : 6 and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom!For he is manifold inunderstanding.Know then that Godexacts of you less than your guilt deserves.
11 : 7 Can you find out the deep things of God?Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
11 : 8 It ishigher than heaven&emdash;what can you do?Deeper than Sheol&emdash;what can you know?
11 : 9 Its measure is longer than the earthand broader than the sea.
11 : 10 If hepasses through andimprisonsand summons the court, who canturn him back?
11 : 11 For he knowsworthless men;when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?
11 : 12 But a stupid man will get understandingwhena wild donkey's colt isborn a man!
11 : 13 If youprepare your heart,you willstretch out your hands toward him.
11 : 14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,and let not injustice dwell in your tents.
11 : 15 Surely then you willlift up your face withoutblemish;you will be secure and will not fear.
11 : 16 You willforget your misery;you will remember it as waters that have passed away.
11 : 17 And your life will bebrighter than the noonday;its darkness will be like the morning.
11 : 18 And you will feel secure, because there is hope;you will look around andtake your rest in security.
11 : 19 You willlie down, and none will make you afraid;many willcourt your favor.
11 : 20 Butthe eyes of the wicked will fail;all way of escape will be lost to them,and their hope isto breathe their last.
