Job 11 — DBY
11Verse 1And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,Verse 2Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man of much talk be justified?Verse 3Should thy fictions make men hold their peace? and shouldest thou mock, and no one make [thee] ashamed?Verse 4For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.Verse 5But oh that+God would speak, and open his lips against thee;Verse 6And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, how that they are the double of what is realised; and know that+God passeth by [much] of thine iniquity!Verse 7Canst thou by searching find out+God? canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?Verse 8[It is as] the heights of heaven; what wilt thou do? deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?Verse 9The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.Verse 10If he pass by, and shut up, and call to judgment, who can hinder him?Verse 11For he knoweth vain men, and seeth wickedness when [man] doth not consider it;Verse 12Yet a senseless man will make bold, though man be born [like] the foal of a wild ass.Verse 13If thou prepare thy heart and stretch out thy hands toward him,Verse 14If thou put far away the iniquity which is in thy hand, and let not wrong dwell in thy tents;Verse 15Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot, and thou shalt be stedfast and shalt not fear:Verse 16For thou shalt forget misery; as waters that are passed away shalt thou remember it;Verse 17And life shall arise brighter than noonday; though thou be enshrouded in darkness, thou shalt be as the morning,Verse 18And thou shalt have confidence, because there shall be hope; and having searched about [thee], thou shalt take rest in safety.Verse 19Yea, thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and many shall seek thy favour.Verse 20But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and [all] refuge shall vanish from them, and their hope [shall be] the breathing out of life.
