Job 11 — ASV

11Verse 1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,^{Verse 2}Should not the multitude of words be answered?
And should a man full of talk be justified?
^{Verse 3}Should thy boastings make men hold their peace?
And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
^{Verse 4}For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure,
And I am clean in thine eyes.
^{Verse 5}But oh that God would speak,
And open his lips against thee,
^{Verse 6}And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom!
For he is manifold in understanding.
Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.^{Verse 7}Canst thou by searching find out God?
Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
^{Verse 8}It is high as heaven; what canst thou do?
Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?
^{Verse 9}The measure thereof is longer than the earth,
And broader than the sea.
^{Verse 10}If he pass through, and shut up,
And call unto judgment, then who can hinder him?
^{Verse 11}For he knoweth false men:
He seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not.
^{Verse 12}But vain man is void of understanding,
Yea, man is born as a wild ass’s colt.^{Verse 13}If thou set thy heart aright,And stretch out thy hands toward him;
^{Verse 14}If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away,
And let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.
^{Verse 15}Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot;
Yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
^{Verse 16}For thou shalt forget thy misery;
Thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away,
^{Verse 17}And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday;
Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
^{Verse 18}And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope;
Yea, thou shalt search about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.
^{Verse 19}Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid;
Yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
^{Verse 20}But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,
And they shall have no way to flee;
And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.
