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 lies make men hold their
peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
4 For thou hast said, 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 they are double to that which is! 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 as high as heaven; what
canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
9 The measure thereof is longer
than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather
together, then who can hinder him?
11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth
wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
12 For vain man would be wise, though man
be born like a wild ass’s colt.
13 If thou prepare thine
heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14 If iniquity be in thine hand,
put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face
without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16 Because thou shalt forget thy
misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
17 And thine age shall be clearer
than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18 And thou shalt be secure, because there
is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou 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 not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of
the ghost.
