Job 11
Job 11:1 Then Zophar the Naamathite said in answer:
Job 11:2 Should so many words go unanswered and such lips be acquitted?
Job 11:3 Should your babbling put others to silence, so that you can keep on ridiculing with no one to shame you?
Job 11:4 You have said, “My teaching is sound, and I am pure as you can see.”
Job 11:5 But if only God would speak and open his lips against you!
Job 11:6 He would show you the secrets of wisdom, because true wisdom has two sides. Know then that God has chosen to overlook some of your violations.
Job 11:7 Can you fathom the depths of God or discover the limits of the Almighty?
Job 11:8 They are higher than the sky — what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol — what can you know?
Job 11:9 Their measure is longer than the ground and wider than the sea.
Job 11:10 If he passes by and throws someone in prison or convenes a court, who can stop him?
Job 11:11 Surely, he knows which people are worthless. If he sees iniquity, will he not take note of it?
Job 11:12 But a stupid person will gain understanding as soon as a wild donkey is born a human!
Job 11:13 As for you, if you redirect your heart and spread out your hands to him in prayer —
Job 11:14 if there is iniquity in your hand, remove it, and don’t allow injustice to dwell in your tents —
Job 11:15 then you will hold your head high, free from fault. You will be firmly established and unafraid.
Job 11:16 Because you will forget your suffering, recalling it only as water that has flowed by.
Job 11:17 Your lifetime will be brighter than noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
Job 11:18 You will be confident, because there is hope. You will look carefully around and lie down in safety.
Job 11:19 You will lie down with no one to frighten you, and many will seek your favor.
Job 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail. Their way of escape will be destroyed, and their only hope is a breathing throat.
