Job 11:1
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Job 11:2
Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?
Job 11:3
Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in thine eyes.
Job 11:5
But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee,
Job 11:6
And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
Job 11:7
Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
Job 11:8
It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; What canst thou know?
Job 11:9
The measure thereof is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea.
Job 11:10
If he pass through, and shut up, And all unto judgment, then who can hinder him?
Job 11:11
For he knoweth false men: He seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not.
Job 11:12
But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born [as] a wild ass’s colt.
Job 11:13
If thou set thy heart aright, And stretch out thy hands toward him;
Job 11:14
If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, And let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.

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

Job 11:17
And [thy] life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
Job 11:18
And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; Yea, thou shalt search [about thee], and shalt take thy rest in safety.

Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; Yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
Job 11:20
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.
