Job 11
Big screen- 1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
- 2Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
- 3Should your lies make men hold their peace? and when you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?
- 4For you have said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in yours eyes.
- 5But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you;
- 6And that he would show you the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacts of you less than yours iniquity deserves.
- 7Can you by searching find out God? can you find out the Almighty unto perfection?
- 8It is as high as heaven; what can you do? deeper than hell; what can you know?
- 9The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
- 10If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
- 11For he knows vain men: he sees wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
- 12For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
- 13If you prepare yours heart, and stretch out yours hands toward him;
- 14If iniquity be in yours hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tabernacles.
- 15For then shall you lift up your face without spot; yea, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
- 16Because you shall forget your misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
- 17And yours age shall be clearer than the noonday: you shall shine forth, you shall be as the morning.
- 18And you shall be secure, because there is hope; yea, you shall dig about you, and you shall take your rest in safety.
- 19Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto you.
- 20But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the spirit.
