Job 11 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

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