11Job 11

1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,Select Job 11:1

2Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?Select Job 11:2

3Should your lies make men hold their peace? and when you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?Select Job 11:3

4For you have said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in your eyes.Select Job 11:4

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

6And that he would show you the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.Select Job 11:6

7Can you by searching find out God? can you find out the Almighty to perfection?Select Job 11:7

8It is as high as heaven; what can you do? deeper than hell; what can you know?Select Job 11:8

9The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.Select Job 11:9

10If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?Select Job 11:10

11For he knows vain men: he sees wickedness also; will he not then consider it?Select Job 11:11

12For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.Select Job 11:12

13If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward him;Select Job 11:13

14If iniquity be in your hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tabernacles.Select Job 11:14

15For then shall you lift up your face without spot; yes, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:Select Job 11:15

16Because you shall forget your misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:Select Job 11:16

17And your age shall be clearer than the noonday: you shall shine forth, you shall be as the morning.Select Job 11:17

18And you shall be secure, because there is hope; yes, you shall dig about you, and you shall take your rest in safety.Select Job 11:18

19Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; yes, many shall make suit to you.Select Job 11:19

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.Select Job 11:20
