Job 11:1-9 ▼

1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,

2 “Shall a multitude of words go unanswered, And a talkative man be acquitted?

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

4 “For you have said, ‘My teaching is pure, And I am innocent in your eyes.’

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

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

7 “Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover 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.
