| # Chapter 11
| Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
| Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
| Should thy falsehoods make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
| For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thy eyes.
| But Oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
| And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thy iniquity deserveth.
| Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
| It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
| The measure of it is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
| If he shall cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
| For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
| For vain man would be wise, though man is born like a wild ass's colt.
| If thou preparest thy heart, and stretchest out thy hands towards him;
| If iniquity is in thy hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
| For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yes, thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear:
| Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
| And thy age shall be clearer than the noon-day: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
| And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yes, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
| Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yes, many shall make suit to thee.
| But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the expiration of the breath.
