Job 11 - ESV Bible - Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:...

1 Then ¹Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:

2 "Should ²a multitude of words go unanswered, and a man full of talk be judged right?

3 Should your babble silence men, and when you mock, shall no one shame you?

4 For ³you say, 'My ⁴doctrine is pure, and I am clean in God's^a eyes.'

5 But oh, that God would speak and open his lips to you,

6 and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in ⁵understanding.^b Know then that God ⁶exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.

7 ⁷"Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?

8 It is ⁸higher than heaven^c--what can you do? Deeper than Sheol--what can you know?

9 Its measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.

10 If he ⁹passes through and ¹⁰imprisons and summons the court, who can ¹¹turn him back?

11 For he knows ¹²worthless men; when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?

12 But a stupid man will get understanding when ¹³a wild donkey's colt is ¹⁴born a man!

13 "If you ¹⁵prepare your heart, you will ¹⁶stretch out your hands toward him.

14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents.

15 Surely then you will ¹⁷lift up your face without ¹⁸blemish; you will be secure and will not fear.

16 You will ¹⁹forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away.

17 And your life will be ²⁰brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.

18 And you will feel secure, because there is hope; you will look around and ²¹take your rest in security.

19 You will ²²lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will ²³court your favor.

20 But ²⁴the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is ²⁵to breathe their last."
