- Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
- 2
- “Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and a man full of talk be judged right?
- 3
- Should your babble silence men, and when you mock, shall no one shame you?
- 4
- For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in God’s eyes.’
- 5
- But oh, that God would speak and open his lips to you,
- 6
- and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.
- 7
- “Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
- 8
- It is higher than heaven—what can you do? Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
- 9
- Its measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.
- 10
- If he passes through and imprisons and summons the court, who can turn him back?
- 11
- For he knows worthless men; when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?
- 12
- But a stupid man will get understanding when a wild donkey’s colt is born a man!
- 13
- “If you prepare your heart, you will stretch out your hands toward him.
- 14
- If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents.
- 15
- Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and will not fear.
- 16
- You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away.
- 17
- And your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
- 18
- And you will feel secure, because there is hope; you will look around and take your rest in security.
- 19
- You will lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will court your favor.
- 20
- But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last.”
