Job 11

The Message Bible MSG

1 Now it was the turn of Zophar from Naamath:

2 "What a flood of words! Shouldn't we put a stop to it? Should this kind of loose talk be permitted?

3 Job, do you think you can carry on like this and we'll say nothing? That we'll let you rail and mock and not step in?

4 You claim, 'My doctrine is sound and my conduct impeccable.'

5 How I wish God would give you a piece of his mind, tell you what's what!

6 I wish he'd show you how wisdom looks from the inside, for true wisdom is mostly 'inside.' But you can be sure of this, you haven't gotten half of what you deserve.

7 "Do you think you can explain the mystery of God? Do you think you can diagram God Almighty?

8 God is far higher than you can imagine, far deeper than you can comprehend,

9 Stretching farther than earth's horizons, far wider than the endless ocean.

10 If he happens along, throws you in jail then hauls you into court, can you do anything about it?

11 He sees through vain pretensions, spots evil a long way off - no one pulls the wool over his eyes!

12 Hollow men, hollow women, will wise up about the same time mules learn to talk. Reach Out to God

13 "Still, if you set your heart on God and reach out to him,

14 If you scrub your hands of sin and refuse to entertain evil in your home,

15 You'll be able to face the world unashamed and keep a firm grip on life, guiltless and fearless.

16 You'll forget your troubles; they'll be like old, faded photographs.

17 Your world will be washed in sunshine, every shadow dispersed by dayspring.

18 Full of hope, you'll relax, confident again; you'll look around, sit back, and take it easy.

19 Expansive, without a care in the world, you'll be hunted out by many for your blessing.

20 But the wicked will see none of this. They're headed down a dead-end road with nothing to look forward to - nothing."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 respondens autem Sophar Naamathites dixit

2 numquid qui multa loquitur non et audiet aut vir verbosus iustificabitur

3 tibi soli tacebunt homines et cum ceteros inriseris a nullo confutaberis

4 dixisti enim purus est sermo meus et mundus sum in conspectu tuo

5 atque utinam Deus loqueretur tecum et aperiret labia sua tibi

6 ut ostenderet tibi secreta sapientiae et quod multiplex esset lex eius et intellegeres quod multo minora exigaris a Deo quam meretur iniquitas tua

7 forsitan vestigia Dei conprehendes et usque ad perfectum Omnipotentem repperies

8 excelsior caelo est et quid facies profundior inferno et unde cognosces

9 longior terrae mensura eius et latior mari

10 si subverterit omnia vel in unum coartaverit quis contradicet ei

11 ipse enim novit hominum vanitatem et videns iniquitatem nonne considerat

12 vir vanus in superbiam erigitur et tamquam pullum onagri se liberum natum putat

13 tu autem firmasti cor tuum et expandisti ad eum manus tuas

14 si iniquitatem quod est in manu tua abstuleris a te et non manserit in tabernaculo tuo iniustitia

15 tum levare poteris faciem tuam absque macula et eris stabilis et non timebis

16 miseriae quoque oblivisceris et quasi aquarum quae praeterierint recordaberis

17 et quasi meridianus fulgor consurget tibi ad vesperam et cum te consumptum putaveris orieris ut lucifer

18 et habebis fiduciam proposita tibi spe et defossus securus dormies

19 requiesces et non erit qui te exterreat et deprecabuntur faciem tuam plurimi

20 oculi autem impiorum deficient et effugium peribit ab eis et spes eorum abominatio animae
