Job 11

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

 11:1 Then Zophar 6691 the Naamathite 5284 answered 6030a,

 11:2 “Shall a multitude 7230 of words 1697 go 6030a unanswered 3808 6030a, And a talkative 8193 man 376 be acquitted 6663?

 11:3 “Shall your boasts 907 silence 2790b men 4962? And shall you scoff 3932 and none 369 rebuke 3637?

 11:4 “For you have said 559, ‘My teaching 3948 is pure 2134, And I am 1961 innocent 1249 in your eyes 5869.’

 11:5 “But would 4310 5414 that God 433 might speak 1696, And open 6605a His lips 8193 against 5973 you,

 11:6 And show 5046 you the secrets 8587 of wisdom 2451! For sound 8454 wisdom 8454 has two 3718 sides 3718. Know 3045 then that God 433 forgets 5382 a part of your iniquity 5771.

 11:7 ¶ “Can you discover 4672 the depths 2714 of God 433? Can you discover 4672 the limits 8503 of the Almighty 7706b?

 11:8 “[They are] high 1363 as the heavens 8064, what 4100 can you do 6466? Deeper 6013 than 4480 Sheol 7585, what 4100 can you know 3045?

 11:9 “Its measure 4055 is longer 752 than 4480 the earth 776 And broader 7342 than 4480 the sea 3220.

 11:10 “If 518 He passes 2498 by or shuts 5462 up, Or calls 6950 an assembly 6950, who 4310 can restrain 7725 Him?

 11:11 “For He knows 3045 false 7723 men 4962, And He sees 7200 iniquity 205 without 3808 investigating 995.

 11:12 “An idiot 376 5014 will become 3823a intelligent 3823a When the foal 5895 of a wild 6501 donkey 6501 is born 3205 a man 120.

 11:13 ¶ “If 518 you would direct 3559 your heart 3820 right 3559 And spread 6566 out your hand 3709 to Him,

 11:14 If 518 iniquity 205 is in your hand 3027, put 7368 it far 7368 away 7368, And do not let wickedness 5767b dwell 7931 in your tents 168;

 11:15 “Then 227, indeed 3588, you could lift 5375 up your face 6440 without 4480 [moral] defect 4140b, And you would be steadfast 3332 and not fear 3372a.

 11:16 “For you would forget 7911 [your] trouble 5999, As waters 4325 that have passed 5674a by, you would remember 2142 [it].

 11:17 “Your life 2465 would be brighter 6965 than 4480 noonday 6672a; Darkness 8591b would be like the morning 1242.

 11:18 “Then you would trust 982, because 3588 there 3426 is hope 8615b; And you would look 2658 around 2658 and rest 7901 securely 983.

 11:19 “You would lie 7257 down 7257 and none 369 would disturb 2729 [you], And many 7227a would entreat 2470b your favor 6440.

 11:20 “But the eyes 5869 of the wicked 7563 will fail 3615, And there will be no 6 escape 4498 for them; And their hope 8615b is to breathe 4646 their last 4646.”
