Job 11

1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,WBS — Job 11:1

2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?WBS — Job 11:2

3 Should thy falsehoods make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?WBS — Job 11:3

4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thy eyes.WBS — Job 11:4

5 But Oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;WBS — Job 11:5

6 And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thy iniquity deserveth.WBS — Job 11:6

7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?WBS — Job 11:7

8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?WBS — Job 11:8

9 The measure of it is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.WBS — Job 11:9

10 If he shall cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?WBS — Job 11:10

11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?WBS — Job 11:11

12 For vain man would be wise, though man is born like a wild ass’s colt.WBS — Job 11:12

13 If thou preparest thy heart, and stretchest out thy hands towards him;WBS — Job 11:13

14 If iniquity is in thy hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.WBS — Job 11:14

15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yes, thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear:WBS — Job 11:15

16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:WBS — Job 11:16

17 And thy age shall be clearer than the noon-day: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.WBS — Job 11:17

18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yes, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.WBS — Job 11:18

19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yes, many shall make suit to thee.WBS — Job 11:19

20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the expiration of the breath.WBS — Job 11:20
