jps@Job:11:1 @ Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:

jps@Job:11:2 @ Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be accounted right?

jps@Job:11:3 @ Thy boastings have made men hold their peace, and thou hast mocked, with none to make thee ashamed;

jps@Job:11:4 @ And thou hast said: 'My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in Thine eyes.'

jps@Job:11:5 @ But oh that God would speak, and open His lips against thee;

jps@Job:11:6 @ And that He would tell thee the secrets of wisdom, that sound wisdom is manifold! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

jps@Job:11:7 @ Canst thou find out the deep things of God? Canst thou attain unto the purpose of the Almighty?

jps@Job:11:8 @ It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than the nether-world; what canst thou know?

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

jps@Job:11:10 @ If He pass by, and shut up, or gather in, then who can hinder Him?

jps@Job:11:11 @ For He knoweth base men; and when He seeth iniquity, will He not then consider it?

jps@Job:11:12 @ But an empty man will get understanding, when a wild ass's colt is born a man.

jps@Job:11:13 @ If thou set thy heart aright, and stretch out thy hands toward Him--

jps@Job:11:14 @ If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents--

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

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

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

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

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

jps@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 drooping of the soul.
