| # Chapter 11
#### 1 | Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
#### 2 | Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?
#### 3 | Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
#### 4 | For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in thine eyes.
#### 5 | But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee,
#### 6 | And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
#### 7 | Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
#### 8 | It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?
#### 9 | The measure thereof is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea.
#### 10 | If he pass through, and shut up, And all unto judgment, then who can hinder him?
#### 11 | For he knoweth false men: He seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not.
#### 12 | But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born [as] a wild ass's colt.
#### 13 | If thou set thy heart aright, And stretch out thy hands toward him;
#### 14 | If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, And let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.
#### 15 | Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; Yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
#### 16 | For thou shalt forget thy misery; Thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away,
#### 17 | And [thy] life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
#### 18 | And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; Yea, thou shalt search [about thee], and shalt take thy rest in safety.
#### 19 | Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; Yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
#### 20 | But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.
