Job11:1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered:
Job11:2 "Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and should one full of talk be vindicated?
Job11:3 Should your babble put others to silence, and when you mock, shall no one shame you?
Job11:4 For you say, 'My conduct is pure, and I am clean in God's sight.'
Job11:5 But oh, that God would speak, and open his lips to you,
Job11:6 and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For wisdom is many-sided. Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.
Job11:7 "Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
Job11:8 It is higher than heaven-- what can you do? Deeper than Sheol-- what can you know?
Job11:9 Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
Job11:10 If he passes through, and imprisons, and assembles for judgment, who can hinder him?
Job11:11 For he knows those who are worthless; when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?
Job11:12 But a stupid person will get understanding, when a wild ass is born human.
Job11:13 "If you direct your heart rightly, you will stretch out your hands toward him.
Job11:14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and do not let wickedness reside in your tents.
Job11:15 Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure, and will not fear.
Job11:16 You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away.
Job11:17 And your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
Job11:18 And you will have confidence, because there is hope; you will be protected and take your rest in safety.
Job11:19 You will lie down, and no one will make you afraid; many will entreat your favor.
Job11:20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last."
