Job 11

Common English Bible CEB

1 Zophar from Naamah responded:

2 Should all these words go unanswered or a wordy man be justified?

3 Will your idle talk silence everyone; will you mock and not be put to shame?

4 You've said, "My teaching is pure, and I'm clean in God's eyes."

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

6 and tell you secrets of wisdom; for sound insight has two sides. Know that God lets some of your sin be forgotten.

7 Can you find the secret of God or find the extent of the Almighty?

8 They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? Deeper than the underworld—what can you know?

9 Its measurement is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.

10 If God passes by, imprisons someone, and calls a trial, who can stop him?

11 He knows worthless people, sees sin, and certainly takes note.

12 A stupid person becomes intelligent when a wild ass of a person is born tame.

13 If you make your mind resolute and spread your palms to him,

14 if you throw out the sin in your hands and don't let injustice dwell in your tents,

15 then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and not fear.

16 You will forget trouble; you will remember it as water that flows past.

17 A life span will rise brighter than noon; darkness will be like morning.

18 You will be secure, for there is hope; you will look around and rest safely.

19 You will lie down without anyone to scare you; many will beg for your favor.

20 The eyes of the wicked will grow faint; flight has vanished from them; their hope is a dying gasp.

English Standard Version ESV

1 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. ”
