OEB JOB Chapter 11

JOB 11 ©

11Then Zophar of Naamah answered and said:

Should a voluble man go unanswered,

A man who but babbles be justified?

3Must men hold their peace at thy bragging?

Thy mocking is no one to curb?

4Thou maintainest thy way to be pure,

And thyself to be clean in His sight.

5But oh that God would speak,

And open His lips against thee,

6And 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.

7Canst thou find out the deep things of God,

Or come nigh the Almighty’s perfection?

8It is higher than heaven – what canst thou?

Deeper than Sheol – what knowest thou?

9Longer than earth is its measure,

And broader it is than the sea.

10When He sweeps past and puts men in durance

And calls them to trial, who can turn Him?

11For well He knoweth vain men:

He looks upon sin and He marks it.

12Even a senseless man may be taught,

As a wild ass’s colt may be caught.

13Now, if thou wouldst prepare thy heart,

And stretch out thy hands unto Him,

14And put away sin from thy hand,

And let wrong dwell no more in thy tent,

15Then thy face thou wouldst lift without blemish,

And thou wouldst be steadfast and fearless.

16Yea, thou wouldst forget thy sorrow–

As floods that are passed wouldst thou think of it.

17Brighter than noon would thy life rise,

Thy darkness would be as the morning.

18Secure wouldst thou be in thy hope:

Thou couldst lie without trembling or care–

19Lay thee down without one to affright thee,

And many would sue for thy favour.

20But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,

The place of their refuge is perished.

Their hope is – to breathe their last.
