11Job 11

1And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: --Select Job 11:1

2Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified?Select Job 11:2

3Thy devices make men keep silent, Thou scornest, and none is causing blushing!Select Job 11:3

4And thou sayest, `Pure is my discourse, And clean I have been in Thine eyes.'Select Job 11:4

5And yet, O that God had spoken! And doth open His lips with thee.Select Job 11:5

6And declare to thee secrets of wisdom, For counsel hath foldings. And know thou that God forgetteth for thee, Some of thine iniquity.Select Job 11:6

7By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?Select Job 11:7

8Heights of the heavens! --what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! --what knowest thou?Select Job 11:8

9Longer than earth is its measure, And broader than the sea.Select Job 11:9

10If He pass on, and shut up, and assemble, Who then dost reverse it?Select Job 11:10

11For he hath known men of vanity, And He seeth iniquity, And one doth not consider it !Select Job 11:11

12And empty man is bold, And the colt of a wild ass man is born.Select Job 11:12

13If thou--thou hast prepared thy heart, And hast spread out unto Him thy hands,Select Job 11:13

14If iniquity is in thy hand, put it far off, And let not perverseness dwell in thy tents.Select Job 11:14

15For then thou liftest up thy face from blemish, And thou hast been firm, and fearest not.Select Job 11:15

16For thou dost forget misery, As waters passed away thou rememberest.Select Job 11:16

17And above the noon doth age rise, Thou fliest--as the morning thou art.Select Job 11:17

18And thou hast trusted because their is hope, And searched--in confidence thou liest down,Select Job 11:18

19And thou hast rested, And none is causing trembling, And many have entreated thy face;Select Job 11:19

20And the eyes of the wicked are consumed, And refuge hath perished from them, And their hope is a breathing out of soul!Select Job 11:20
