\v 1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 "Should not such a multitude of words be answered?
|
|
|
|
|
\q Should this man, so full of talk, be believed?
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 Should your boasting make others remain silent?
|
|
|
|
|
\q When you mock our teaching, will no one make you feel ashamed?

\q

\v 4 For you say to God, 'My beliefs are pure,
|
|
|
|
|
\q I am blameless in your eyes.'
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 5 But, oh, that God would speak
|
|
|
|
|
\q and open his lips against you;
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 6 that he would show you the secrets of wisdom!
|
|
|
|
|
\q For he is great in understanding.
|
|
|
|
|
\q Know then that God demands from you less than your iniquity deserves.

\q Can you comprehend the Almighty perfectly?

\v 8 The matter is as high as heaven; what can you do?

\q

\v 10 If he passes through and shuts anyone up,
|

|
|
|
\q if he calls anyone to judgment, then who can stop him?
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 11 For he knows false people;
|
|
|
|
|
\q when he sees iniquity, does he not notice it?
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|

\v 12 But foolish people have no understanding;
|
|
|
|
|
\q they will get it when a wild donkey gives birth to a man.

\v 13 But suppose that you had set your heart right
|

\q and had reached out with your hands toward God;
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 14 suppose that iniquity were in your hand, but that then you put it far away from you,
|
|
|
|
|
\q and did not let unrighteousness live in your tents.

|
\q indeed, you would be steadfast and would not fear.
|
|
|
|

\q
|

\v 16 You would forget your misery;

\q you would remember it only like waters that have flowed away.

\q
|

\v 17 Your life would be brighter than the noonday;

\q though there were darkness, it would become like the morning.

\q
|

\v 19 Also you would lie down in rest, and none would make you afraid;

|
\q indeed, many would seek your favor.
