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