1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)

Job 11

1 Zophar reproveth Job for justifying himself. 6 God's wisdom is unsearchable. 13 The assured blessing of repentance.

 11:1 ¶ Then responded Zophar the Naamathite, and said:—

 11:2 Should, the multitude of words, not be answered? Or should, a man full of talk, be justified?

 11:3 Shall, thy pratings, cause men to hold their peace? When thou hast mocked, shall there be none to put thee to shame?

 11:4 Since thou hast said, Right is my doctrine, and pure am I in his eyes.

 11:5 But, in very deed, oh that GOD would speak, that he would open his lips with thee:

 11:6 That he would declare to thee the secrets of wisdom, for they are double to that which actually is,—Know then that GOD could bring into forgetfulness for thee, a portion of thine iniquity.

 11:7 ¶ The hidden depth of GOD canst thou discover? Or, unto the furthest limit of the Almighty, canst thou attain?

 11:8 The heights of the heavens, what canst thou do? Depths deeper than hades, what canst thou know?

 11:9 Longer than the earth, is the measure thereof, and broader than the sea.

 11:10 If he sweep on, or shut up, or call together, Who then shall hinder him?

 11:11 For, he, knoweth men of falsity, and seeth iniquity, and him that doth not diligently consider.

 11:12 But, an empty person, will get sense, when, a wild ass's colt, is born a man!

 11:13 ¶ If, thou, hast prepared thy heart, and wilt spread forth, unto him, thy hands—

 11:14 If, iniquity, be in thy hand, Put it far away, and let there not dwell in thy tents perversity,

 11:15 Surely, then, shalt thou lift up thy face free from blemish, and shalt be established, and not fear.

 11:16 For, now, shalt thou forget, sorrow, Like waters passed away, shalt thou remember it.

 11:17 Above high noon, shall rise life's continuance, Darkness, like a morning, shall appear,

 11:18 And thou shalt he confident, that there is hope, and, when thou hast searched, securely shalt thou lie down;

 11:19 And shalt rest, with none to put thee in terror,—and many shall entreat thy favour.

 11:20 But, the eyes of the lawless, shall fail,—and, place of refuge, shall have vanished from them, and, their hope, be a breathing out of life.
