Job:11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite Na #
amathiy #,
and said ,
*
Should not the multitude of words be answered ?
and should a man full of talk be justified ?
*
Should thy lies make #
men hold their peace ?
and when thou mockest ,
shall no man make thee ashamed ?
*
For thou hast said ,
My doctrine is pure ,
and I am clean in thine eyes .
*
But oh that God would speak ,
and open his lips against thee ;
*
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 .
*
Canst thou by searching find out God ?
canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection ?
*
It is as high as heaven ;
what canst thou do ?
deeper than hell sh @#
owl #;
what canst thou know ?
*
The measure thereof is longer than the earth ,
and broader than the sea .
*
If he cut off ,
and shut up ,
or gather together ,
then who can hinder him ?
*
For he knoweth vain men :
he seeth wickedness also ;
will he not then consider it ?
*
For vain man would be wise ,
though man be born like a wild asss colt .
*
If thou prepare thine heart ,
and stretch out thine hands toward him ;
*
If iniquity be in thine hand ,
put it far away ,
and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles .
*
For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot m #
uwm #;
yea ,
thou shalt be stedfast ,
and shalt not fear :
*
Because thou shalt forget thy misery ,
and remember it as waters that pass away :
*
And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday ;
thou shalt shine forth ,
thou shalt be as the morning .
*
And thou shalt be secure ,
because there is hope ;
yea ,
thou shalt dig about thee ,
and thou shalt take thy rest in safety .
*
Also thou shalt lie down ,
and none shall make thee afraid ;
yea ,
many shall make suit unto thee .
*
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 .
