| # Chapter 11
| And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: --
| Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified?
| Thy devices make men keep silent, Thou scornest, and none is causing blushing!
| And thou sayest, 'Pure [is] my discourse, And clean I have been in Thine eyes.'
| And yet, O that God had spoken! And doth open His lips with thee.
| And declare to thee secrets of wisdom, For counsel hath foldings. And know thou that God forgetteth for thee, [Some] of thine iniquity.
| By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?
| Heights of the heavens! -- what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! -- what knowest thou?
| Longer than earth [is] its measure, And broader than the sea.
| If He pass on, and shut up, and assemble, Who then dost reverse it?
| For he hath known men of vanity, And He seeth iniquity, And one doth not consider [it]!
| And empty man is bold, And the colt of a wild ass man is born.
| If thou -- thou hast prepared thy heart, And hast spread out unto Him thy hands,
| If iniquity [is] in thy hand, put it far off, And let not perverseness dwell in thy tents.
| For then thou liftest up thy face from blemish, And thou hast been firm, and fearest not.
| For thou dost forget misery, As waters passed away thou rememberest.
| And above the noon doth age rise, Thou fliest -- as the morning thou art.
| And thou hast trusted because their is hope, And searched -- in confidence thou liest down,
| And thou hast rested, And none is causing trembling, And many have entreated thy face;
| And the eyes of the wicked are consumed, And refuge hath perished from them, And their hope [is] a breathing out of soul!
