1 # Then answered <06030> (8799) Zophar <06691> the Naamathite <05284>, and said <0559> (8799),
2 Should not the multitude <07230> of words <01697> be answered <06030> (8735)? and should a man <0376> full of talk <08193> be justified <06663> (8799)?
3 Should thy lies <0907> make <02790> <00> men <04962> hold their peace <02790> (8686)? and when thou mockest <03932> (8799), shall no man make thee ashamed <03637> (8688)?
4 For thou hast said <0559> (8799), My doctrine <03948> is pure <02134>, and I am clean <01249> in thine eyes <05869>.
5 But <0199> oh that <05414> (8799) God <0433> would speak <01696> (8763), and open <06605> (8799) his lips <08193> against thee;
6 And that he would shew <05046> (8686) thee the secrets <08587> of wisdom <02451>, that they are double <03718> to that which is <08454>! Know <03045> (8798) therefore that God <0433> exacteth <05382> (8686) of thee less than thine iniquity <05771> deserveth.
7 # Canst thou by searching <02714> find out <04672> (8799) God <0433>? canst thou find <04672> (8799) out the Almighty <07706> unto perfection <08503>?
8 It is as high <01363> as heaven <08064>; what canst thou do <06466> (8799)? deeper <06013> than hell <07585>; what canst thou know <03045> (8799)?
9 The measure <04055> thereof is longer <0752> than the earth <0776>, and broader <07342> than the sea <03220>.
10 If he cut off <02498> (8799), and shut up <05462> (8686), or gather together <06950> (8686), then who can hinder <07725> (8686) him?
11 For he knoweth <03045> (8804) vain <07723> men <04962>: he seeth <07200> (8799) wickedness <0205> also; will he not then consider <0995> (8709) it?
12 For vain <05014> (8803) man <0376> would be wise <03823> (8735), though man <0120> be born <03205> (8735) like a wild ass's <06501> colt <05895>.
13 # If thou prepare <03559> (8689) thine heart <03820>, and stretch <06566> (8804) out thine hands <03709> toward him;
14 If iniquity <0205> be in thine hand <03027>, put it far away <07368> (8685), and let not wickedness <05766> dwell <07931> (8686) in thy tabernacles <0168>.
15 For then shalt thou lift up <05375> (8799) thy face <06440> without spot <03971>; yea, thou shalt be stedfast <03332> (8716), and shalt not fear <03372> (8799):
16 Because thou shalt forget <07911> (8799) thy misery <05999>, and remember <02142> (8799) it as waters <04325> that pass away <05674> (8804):
17 And thine age <02465> shall be clearer <06965> (8799) than the noonday <06672>; thou shalt shine forth <05774> (8799), thou shalt be as the morning <01242>.
18 And thou shalt be secure <0982> (8804), because there is <03426> hope <08615>; yea, thou shalt dig <02658> (8804) about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest <07901> (8799) in safety <0983>.
19 Also thou shalt lie down <07257> (8804), and none shall make thee afraid <02729> (8688); yea, many <07227> shall make suit <02470> (8765) unto thee <06440>.
20 But the eyes <05869> of the wicked <07563> shall fail <03615> (8799), and they shall not escape <06> (8804) <04498>, and their hope <08615> shall be as the giving up <04646> of the ghost <05315>.
