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

nkjv@Job:11:2 @ "Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be vindicated?

nkjv@Job:11:3 @ Should your empty talk make men hold their peace? And when you mock, should no one rebuke you?

nkjv@Job:11:4 @ For you have said, "My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in your eyes.'

nkjv@Job:11:5 @ But oh, that God would speak, And open His lips against you,

nkjv@Job:11:6 @ That He would show you the secrets of wisdom! For they would double your prudence. Know therefore that God exacts from you Less than your iniquity deserves.

nkjv@Job:11:7 @ "Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty?

nkjv@Job:11:8 @ They are higher than heaven-- what can you do? Deeper than Sheol-- what can you know?

nkjv@Job:11:9 @ Their measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea.

nkjv@Job:11:10 @ "If He passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment, Then who can hinder Him?

nkjv@Job:11:11 @ For He knows deceitful men; He sees wickedness also. Will He not then consider it?

nkjv@Job:11:12 @ For an empty-headed man will be wise, When a wild donkey's colt is born a man.

nkjv@Job:11:13 @ "If you would prepare your heart, And stretch out your hands toward Him;

nkjv@Job:11:14 @ If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away, And would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;

nkjv@Job:11:15 @ Then surely you could lift up your face without spot; Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;

nkjv@Job:11:16 @ Because you would forget your misery, And remember it as waters that have passed away,

nkjv@Job:11:17 @ And your life would be brighter than noonday. Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.

nkjv@Job:11:18 @ And you would be secure, because there is hope; Yes, you would dig around you, and take your rest in safety.

nkjv@Job:11:19 @ You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid; Yes, many would court your favor.

nkjv@Job:11:20 @ But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they shall not escape, And their hope--loss of life!"
