Job 11

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

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

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

4 For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.ERV — Job 11:4

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

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.ERV — Job 11:6

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

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

9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.ERV — Job 11:9

10 If he pass through, and shut up, and call unto judgment, then who can hinder him?ERV — Job 11:10

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

12 But vain man is void of understanding, yea, man is born as a wild ass's colt.ERV — Job 11:12

13 If thou set thine heart aright, and stretch out thine hands toward him;ERV — Job 11:13

14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents;ERV — Job 11:14

15 Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:ERV — Job 11:15

16 For thou shalt forget thy misery; thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away:ERV — Job 11:16

17 And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday; though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.ERV — Job 11:17

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

19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.ERV — Job 11:19

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.ERV — Job 11:20
