Job 11

¹Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,🔗🔍
²Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?🔗🔍
³Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?🔗🔍
⁴For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.🔗🔍
⁵But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;🔗🔍
⁶And 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.🔗🔍
⁷Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?🔗🔍
⁸It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?🔗🔍
⁹The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.🔗🔍
¹⁰If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?🔗🔍
¹¹For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?🔗🔍
¹²For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.🔗🔍
¹³If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;🔗🔍
¹⁴If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.🔗🔍
¹⁵For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:🔗🔍
¹⁶Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:🔗🔍
¹⁷And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.🔗🔍
¹⁸And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.🔗🔍
¹⁹Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.🔗🔍
²⁰But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.🔗🔍
