Job 11:1-20

11:1

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

Zophar
<06691>

the Naamathite
<05284>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

11:2

Should not the multitude
<07230>

of words
<01697>

be answered
<06030> (8735)_?

and should a man
<0376>

full of talk
<08193>

be justified
<06663> (8799)_?

{full...: Heb. of lips}

11:3

Should thy lies
<0907>

make
<02790> (0)

men
<04962>

hold their peace
<02790> (8686)_?

and when thou mockest
<03932> (8799)_,

shall no man make thee ashamed
<03637> (8688)_?

{lies: or, devices}

11:4

For thou hast said
<0559> (8799)_,

My doctrine
<03948>

[is] pure
<02134>_,

and I am clean
<01249>

in thine eyes
<05869>_.

11:5

But
<0199>

oh that
<05414> (8799)

God
<0433>

would speak
<01696> (8763)_,

and open
<06605> (8799)

his lips
<08193>

against thee;

11:6

And that he would shew
<05046> (8686)

thee the secrets
<08587>

of wisdom
<02451>_,

that [they are] double
<03718>

to that which is
<08454>_!

Know
<03045> (8798)

therefore that God
<0433>

exacteth
<05382> (8686)

of thee [less] than thine iniquity
<05771>

[deserveth].

11:7

Canst thou by searching
<02714>

find out
<04672> (8799)

God
<0433>_?

canst thou find
<04672> (8799)

out the Almighty
<07706>

unto perfection
<08503>_?

11:8

[It is] as high
<01363>

as heaven
<08064>_;

what canst thou do
<06466> (8799)_?

deeper
<06013>

than hell
<07585>_;

what canst thou know
<03045> (8799)_?

{as high...: Heb. the heights of heaven}

11:9

The measure
<04055>

thereof [is] longer
<0752>

than the earth
<0776>_,

and broader
<07342>

than the sea
<03220>_.

11:10

If he cut off
<02498> (8799)_,

and shut up
<05462> (8686)_,

or gather together
<06950> (8686)_,

then who can hinder
<07725> (8686)

him? {cut...: or, make a change} {hinder...: Heb. turn him away?}

11:11

For he knoweth
<03045> (8804)

vain
<07723>

men
<04962>_:

he seeth
<07200> (8799)

wickedness
<0205>

also; will he not then consider
<0995> (8709)

[it]?

11:12

For vain
<05014> (8803)

man
<0376>

would be wise
<03823> (8735)_,

though man
<0120>

be born
<03205> (8735)

[like] a wild ass's
<06501>

colt
<05895>_.

{vain: Heb. empty}

11:13

If thou prepare
<03559> (8689)

thine heart
<03820>_,

and stretch
<06566> (8804)

out thine hands
<03709>

toward him;

11:14

If iniquity
<0205>

[be] in thine hand
<03027>_,

put it far away
<07368> (8685)_,

and let not wickedness
<05766>

dwell
<07931> (8686)

in thy tabernacles
<0168>_.

11:15

For then shalt thou lift up
<05375> (8799)

thy face
<06440>

without spot
<03971>_;

yea, thou shalt be stedfast
<03332> (8716)_,

and shalt not fear
<03372> (8799)_:

11:16

Because thou shalt forget
<07911> (8799)

[thy] misery
<05999>_,

[and] remember
<02142> (8799)

[it] as waters
<04325>

[that] pass away
<05674> (8804)_:

11:17

And [thine] age
<02465>

shall be clearer
<06965> (8799)

than the noonday
<06672>_;

thou shalt shine forth
<05774> (8799)_,

thou shalt be as the morning
<01242>_.

{be cleared...: Heb. arise above}

11:18

And thou shalt be secure
<0982> (8804)_,

because there is
<03426>

hope
<08615>_;

yea, thou shalt dig
<02658> (8804)

[about thee, and] thou shalt take thy rest
<07901> (8799)

in safety
<0983>_.

11:19

Also thou shalt lie down
<07257> (8804)_,

and none shall make [thee] afraid
<02729> (8688)_;

yea, many
<07227>

shall make suit
<02470> (8765)

unto thee
<06440>_.

{make suit...: Heb. intreat thy face}

11:20

But the eyes
<05869>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall fail
<03615> (8799)_,

and they shall not escape
<06> (8804) <04498>_,

and their hope
<08615>

[shall be as] the giving up
<04646>

of the ghost
<05315>_.

{they shall...: Heb. flight shall perish from them} {the giving...: or, a puff of breath}
