Job 11:1-9 ▼

1 Then aunswered Sophar the Naamathite, and sayde;

2 Shoulde not he that maketh many wordes be aunswered? Shoulde he that bableth much be commended therin?

3 Shoulde thy lies make men holde their peace, and when thou mockest others shall no man make thee ashamed?

4 For thou hast sayde, my doctrine is pure, and I am cleane in thyne eyes.

5 But O that God woulde speake, and open his lippes against thee:

6 That he might shewe thee the secretes of wysdome, howe thou hast deserued double according to right: Know therfore that God hath forgotten thee for thyne iniquitie.

7 Art thou able to finde out the secretes of God? Or wilt thou attayne to the perfectnesse of the almightie?

8 It is hier then heauen, what art thou able to do? deeper then the hel, how wilt thou then knowe it?

9 The measure of it is longer then the earth, and broder then the sea.
