1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Zophar from Naamath had this to say: |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"Shouldn't a multitude of words be answered, or a person who talks too much be vindicated? |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Will your irrational babble silence people, and when you mock them, will you escape without being shamed? |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You've said, 'My teaching is flawless; I'm clean in God's sight.' |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"But what if God were to speak? What if he were to talk with you, |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6and disclose his wise secrets? After all, there's so much more to understanding. So be aware that God will exact from you less than your sin deserves." |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7"Can you search through God's complex things? Can you uncover the limits of the Almighty? |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8These things are higher than the heavens, so what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol, so what can you know? |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9They are longer than the earth's circumference, and broader than the ocean. |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10"If he bypasses, or imprisons, or convenes a court, who can stop him? |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For he knows mankind's deceitfulness; when he sees iniquity, won't he himself consider it? |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12An empty-headed person will gain understanding when a wild donkey is born a human being!" |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13"Now for you, if you will prepare your heart, spread out your hands to him. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14If you have any iniquity, throw it far away. Don't let evil live in your residence. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Then your confidence will be flawless, and your security will keep you from terror. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16You'll forget your suffering; you'll remember it like water that has evaporated. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Your life will be brighter than noonday. Even its darkness will be like dawn. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18You'll be secure, because there is hope; you'll see that you're at rest and safe. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19When you sleep, there'll be nothing to fear; and many will court your favor. |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20But what the wicked look for will fail; their way of escape will be taken away from them; their only hope is to take their final breath." |
