Job 11 — GMV
11
Then Zophar the Minaean answered and said,
2
He that speaks much, should also hear on the other side:
3
Be not a speaker of many words;
4
For say not, I am pure in my works,
5
But oh that the Lord would speak to thee,
6
Then shall he declare to thee the power of wisdom;
7
Wilt thou find out the traces of the Lord?
8
Heaven is high; and what wilt thou do?
9
Or longer than the measure of the earth,
10
And if he should overthrow all things, who will say to him, What hast thou done?
11
For he knows the works of transgressors;
12
But man vainly buoys himself up with words;
13
For if thou hast made thy heart pure,
14
If there is any iniquity in thy hands,
15
For thus shall thy countenance shine again, as pure water;
16
And thou shalt forget trouble,
17
And thy prayer shall be as the morning star,
18
And thou shalt be confident, because thou hast hope;
19
For thou shalt be at ease, and there shall be no one to fight against thee;
20
But safety shall fail them;
