Job 11:1-9 ▼

1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,

2 “Shall a multitude of words go unanswered, And a man of lips be in the right?

3 Shall your boasts silence men? And shall you mock and none rebuke?

4 You have said, ‘My learning is pure, And I am innocent in your eyes.’

5 But would that God might speak, And open His lips against you,

6 And tell you the secrets of wisdom! For sound wisdom has two sides. Know then that God forgets a part of your iniquity.

7 “Can you find the depths of God? Can you find the limits of the Almighty?

8 They are high as the heavens, what can you do? Deeper than Sheol, what can you know?

9 Its measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea.
