Job 11

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered and said,

2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?

3 Should thy lies make men be silent? Shalt thou mock, and shall no man make thee ashamed?

4 For thou hast said, My doctrine <em>is</em> pure, and I am clean before thine eyes.

5 But oh, that God would speak and open his lips against thee

6 and that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For thou dost deserve double according to sound wisdom; and thou dost know that God has forgotten thee because of thine iniquity.

7 Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou come unto the perfection of the Almighty?

8 It is higher than the heavens; what canst thou do? It is deeper than Sheol; how canst thou know it?

9 The measure of it <em>is</em> longer than the earth and broader than the sea.

10 If he cuts off, or shuts up, or gathers together, then who can hinder him?

11 For he knows the vain men; and he sees the iniquity; will he not then understand <em>it</em>?

12 The vain man shall make himself understood, though man is born <em>like</em> a wild ass’s colt.

13 If thou would prepare thine heart and stretch out thine hands toward him;

14 if there is any iniquity in thy hand and thou dost put it far away and dost not consent that wickedness dwell in thy habitations,

15 then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; thou shalt be strongly established and shalt not fear;

16 and thou shalt forget <em>thy</em> misery <em>and</em> remember <em>it</em> as waters that passed away;

17 and <em>thine</em> age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

18 And thou shalt trust because there is hope; <em>yea</em>, thou shalt dig and sleep in safety;

19 thou shalt lie down, and no one shall make <em>thee</em> afraid; and many shall make requests unto thee.

20 But the eyes of the wicked shall consume themselves, and they shall have no refuge, and their hope <em>shall be</em> agony of the soul.

New International Version NIV

1 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:

2 “Are all these words to go unanswered? Is this talker to be vindicated?

3 Will your idle talk reduce others to silence? Will no one rebuke you when you mock?

4 You say to God, ‘My beliefs are flawless and I am pure in your sight.’

5 Oh, how I wish that God would speak, that he would open his lips against you

6 and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.

7 “Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

8 They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know?

9 Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.

10 “If he comes along and confines you in prison and convenes a court, who can oppose him?

11 Surely he recognizes deceivers; and when he sees evil, does he not take note?

12 But the witless can no more become wise than a wild donkey’s colt can be born human.

13 “Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him,

14 if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,

15 then, free of fault, you will lift up your face; you will stand firm and without fear.

16 You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by.

17 Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.

18 You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.

19 You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.

20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; their hope will become a dying gasp.”
