book: Job

text: Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,


text: Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?


text: Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?


text: For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in thine eyes.


text: But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee,


text: 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.


text: Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?


text: It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?


text: The measure thereof is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea.


text: If he pass through, and shut up, And call unto judgment, then who can hinder him?


text: For he knoweth false men: He seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not.


text: But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born as a wild ass's colt.


text: If thou set thy heart aright, And stretch out thy hands toward him;


text: If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, And let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.


text: Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; Yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:


text: For thou shalt forget thy misery; Thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away,


text: And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.


text: And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; Yea, thou shalt search about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.


text: Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; Yea, many shall make suit unto thee.


text: 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.
