Job 11

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 Then Sophar the Minaean answered and said,

2 He that speaks much, should also hear on the other side: or does the fluent speaker think himself to be righteous? blessed the short lived offspring of woman.

3 Be not a speaker of many words; for is there none to answer thee?

4 For say not, I am pure in my works, and blameless before him.

5 But oh that the Lord would speak to thee, and open his lips to thee!

6 Then shall he declare to thee the power of wisdom; for it shall be double of that which is with thee: and then shalt thou know, that a just recompence of thy sins has come to thee from the Lord.

7 Wilt thou find out the traces of the Lord? or hast thou come to the end which the Almighty has made?

8 Heaven high; and what wilt thou do? and there are deeper things than those in hell; what dost thou know?

9 Or longer than the measure of the earth, or the breadth of the sea.

10 And if he should overthrow all things, who will say to him, What hast thou done?

11 For he knows the works of transgressors; and when he sees wickedness, he will not overlook .

12 But man vainly buoys himself up with words; and a mortal born of woman like an ass in the desert.

13 For if thou hast made thine heart pure, and liftest up hands towards him;

14 if there is any iniquity in thy hands, put if far from thee, and let not unrighteousness lodge in thy habitation.

15 For thus shall thy countenance shine again, as pure water; and thou shalt divest thyself of uncleanness, and shalt not fear.

16 And thou shalt forget trouble, as a wave that has passed by; and thou shalt not be scared.

17 And thy prayer as the morning star, and life shall arise to thee from the noonday.

18 And thou shalt be confident, because thou hast hope; and peace shall dawn to thee from out of anxiety and care.

19 For thou shalt be at ease, and there shall be no one to fight against thee; and many shall charge, and make supplication to thee.

20 But safety shall fail them; for their hope is destruction, and the eyes of the ungodly shall waste away.

New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA

1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered:

2 "Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and should one full of talk be vindicated?

3 Should your babble put others to silence, and when you mock, shall no one shame you?

4 For you say, "My conduct is pure, and I am clean in God's sight.'

5 But O that God would speak, and open his lips to you,

6 and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For wisdom is many-sided. 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 assembles for judgment, who can hinder him?

11 For he knows those who are worthless; when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?

12 But a stupid person will get understanding, when a wild ass is born human.

13 "If you direct your heart rightly, you will stretch out your hands toward him.

14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and do not let wickedness reside 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 have confidence, because there is hope; you will be protected and take your rest in safety.

19 You will lie down, and no one will make you afraid; many will entreat 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."
