Job 11:1-9 ▼

1 And Zophar the Naamathite answers and says:

2 “Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified?

3 Your boastings make men keep silent, || You scorn, and none is causing blushing!

4 And you say, My discourse [is] pure, || And I have been clean in Your eyes.

5 And yet, O that God had spoken! And opens His lips with you.

6 And declares to you secrets of wisdom, for counsel has foldings. And know that God forgets of your iniquity for you.

7 Do you find out God by searching? To perfection find out the Mighty One?

8 Heights of the heavens—what [can] you do? Deeper than Sheol—what [can] you know?

9 Its measure [is] longer than earth, and broader than the sea.
