Job 11 — KJVCP

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 lies make men hold their peace?
And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
^{Verse 4}For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure,
And I am clean in thine eyes.
^{Verse 5}But O that God would speak,
And open his lips against thee;
^{Verse 6}And 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.^{Verse 7}Canst thou by searching find out God?
Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
^{Verse 8}It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do?
Deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
^{Verse 9}The measure thereof is longer than the earth,
And broader than the sea.^{Verse 10}If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together,
Then who can hinder him?
^{Verse 11}For he knoweth vain men:
He seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
^{Verse 12}For vain man would be wise,
Though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.^{Verse 13}If thou prepare thine heart,
And stretch out thine hands toward him;
^{Verse 14}If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away,
And let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
^{Verse 15}For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot;
Yea, thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear.^{Verse 16}Because thou shalt forget thy misery,
And remember it as waters that pass away:
^{Verse 17}And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday;
Thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
^{Verse 18}And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope;
Yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou 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 not escape,
And their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
