11 Then Zophar of Naamah answered and said:
Should a voluble man go unanswered,
A man who but babbles be justified?
3 Must men hold their peace at thy bragging?
Thy mocking is no one to curb?
4 Thou maintainest thy way to be pure,
And thyself to be clean in His sight.
5 But oh that God would speak,
And open His lips against thee,
6 And show thee the secrets of wisdom–
How marvellous are her achievements!
For then thou shouldst know that thy guilt
God remembers not wholly against thee.
7 Canst thou find out the deep things of God,
Or come nigh the Almighty’s perfection?
8 It is higher than heaven – what canst thou?
Deeper than Sheol – what knowest thou?
9 Longer than earth is its measure,
And broader it is than the sea.
10 When He sweeps past and puts men in durance
And calls them to trial, who can turn Him?
11 For well He knoweth vain men:
He looks upon sin and He marks it.
12 Even a senseless man may be taught,
As a wild ass’s colt may be caught.
13 Now, if thou wouldst prepare thy heart,
And stretch out thy hands unto Him,
14 And put away sin from thy hand,
And let wrong dwell no more in thy tent,
15 Then thy face thou wouldst lift without blemish,
And thou wouldst be steadfast and fearless.
16 Yea, thou wouldst forget thy sorrow–
As floods that are passed wouldst thou think of it.
17 Brighter than noon would thy life rise,
Thy darkness would be as the morning.
18 Secure wouldst thou be in thy hope:
Thou couldst lie without trembling or care–
19 Lay thee down without one to affright thee,
And many would sue for thy favour.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,
The place of their refuge is perished.
Their hope is – to breathe their last.
