| Job 11:1 | Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered, | Then Zophar the Naamathite made answer and said, |
| Job 11:2 | "Shouldn't the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified? | Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk? |
| Job 11:3 | Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed? | Are your words of pride to make men keep quiet? and are you to make sport, with no one to put you to shame? |
| Job 11:4 | For you say, 'My doctrine is pure, I am clean in your eyes.' | You may say, My way is clean, and I am free from sin in your eyes. |
| Job 11:5 | But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against you, | But if only God would take up the word, opening his lips in argument with you; |
| Job 11:6 | That he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves. | And would make clear to you the secrets of wisdom, and the wonders of his purpose! |
| Job 11:7 | "Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty? | Are you able to take God's measure, to make discovery of the limits of the Ruler of all? |
| Job 11:8 | They are high as heaven. What can you do? Deeper than Sheol: what can you know? | They are higher than heaven; what is there for you to do? deeper than the underworld, and outside your knowledge; |
| Job 11:9 | The measure of it is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea. | Longer in measure than the earth, and wider than the sea. |
| Job 11:10 | If he passes by, or confines, Or convenes a court, then who can oppose him? | If he goes on his way, shutting a man up and putting him to death, who may make him go back from his purpose? |
| Job 11:11 | For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn't consider it. | For in his eyes men are as nothing; he sees evil and takes note of it. |
| Job 11:12 | But vain man can become wise If a man can be born as a wild donkey's colt. | And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching. |
| Job 11:13 | "If you set your heart aright, Stretch out your hands toward him. | But if you put your heart right, stretching out your hands to him; |
| Job 11:14 | If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, Don't let unrighteousness dwell in your tents. | If you put far away the evil of your hands, and let no wrongdoing have a place in your tent; |
| Job 11:15 | Surely then shall you lift up your face without spot; Yes, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear: | Then truly your face will be lifted up, with no mark of sin, and you will be fixed in your place without fear: |
| Job 11:16 | For you shall forget your misery; You shall remember it as waters that are passed away, | For your sorrow will go from your memory, like waters flowing away: |
| Job 11:17 | Life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there is darkness, it shall be as the morning. | And your life will be brighter than day; though it is dark, it will become like the morning. |
| Job 11:18 | You shall be secure, because there is hope; Yes, you shall search, and shall take your rest in safety. | And you will be safe because there is hope; after looking round, you will take your rest in quiet; |
| Job 11:19 | Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; Yes, many shall court your favor. | Sleeping with no fear of danger; and men will be desiring to have grace in your eyes; |
| Job 11:20 | But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, They shall have no way to flee; Their hope shall be the giving up of the spirit." | But the eyes of the evil-doers will be wasting away; their way of flight is gone, and their only hope is the taking of their last breath. |
