Job 11

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42]

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 thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

11:4 For thou hast said, My doctrine [is] pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

11:5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

11:6 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].

11:7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

11:8 [It is] as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou 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 knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider [it]?

11:12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born [like] a wild ass's colt.

11:13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

11:14 If iniquity [be] in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

11:15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

11:16 Because thou shalt forget [thy] misery, [and] remember [it] as waters [that] pass away:

11:17 And [thine] age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

11:18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig [about thee, and] thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

11:19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make [thee] afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

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 ghost.
