en_RV1895 - Job 11 - Ozzuu Bible

¹ Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

² Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?

³ Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

⁴ For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

⁵ But Oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

⁶ And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that iris manifold in effectual working! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth

⁷ Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

⁸ It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?

⁹ The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

¹⁰ If he pass through, and shut up, and call unto judgement, then who can hinder him?

¹¹ For he knoweth vain men: He seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not.

¹² But vain man is void of understanding, yea, man is born as a wild ass's colt

¹³ If thou set thine heart aright, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

¹⁴ If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents;

¹⁵ Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

¹⁶ For thou shalt forget thy misery; thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away:

¹⁷ And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday; though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

¹⁸ And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt search about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.

¹⁹ Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee, and their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.
