5. |Zophar's blind argument — 11:1-20
Job|11:1|-|Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
Job|11:2|-|Should a multitude of words not be answered?And should a man of much talk be justified?Job|11:3|-|Shall your empty talk silence men?And will you mock, and there be none to shame you?Job|11:4|-|For you say, My doctrine is pure,And I am clean in Your eyes.Job|11:5|-|But, oh, that God would speakAnd open His lips to you,Job|11:6|-|And that He would tell you the secrets of wisdom!For there are two sides to sound reason.Know then that God has forgotten some of your iniquity.
Job|11:7|-|Can you find out the |1a|depths of God?Can you find out the |b|limit of the Almighty?Job|11:8|-|It is the height of heaven—what can you do?It is deeper than Sheol—what can you know?Job|11:9|-|Its measure is longer than that of the earthAnd broader than the sea.Job|11:10|-|If He passes by and imprisonsAnd summons an assembly, who can stop Him?Job|11:11|-|For He knows men of falsehood,And He sees iniquity without considering it.Job|11:12|-|But an |1|empty-headed man acquires intelligenceWhen the |1|foal of a wild ass is born as a man.Job|11:13|-|If you would set your heart rightAnd stretch your hands out to Him—Job|11:14|-|If there is iniquity in your hand, put it far away,And do not let wrong dwell in your tents—Job|11:15|-|Then indeed you would lift up your face without blemish,And you would be |a|steadfast and would not be afraid.Job|11:16|-|For you will forget your misery;You will remember it as waters that have passed away.Job|11:17|-|And your time here will rise more brightly than the noonday;Dark though it may be, it will be like the morning.Job|11:18|-|And you will be secure, for there is hope;And you will search about and lie down in security.Job|11:19|-|Indeed you will lie down, and there will be none to terrify you;And many will entreat your favor.Job|11:20|-|But the eyes of the wicked will fail,And fleeing will be lost to them,And their hope will be to breathe out their life.
