1 Then|strong="H6030" answered|strong="H6030" Zophar|strong="H6691" the|strong="H6030" Naamathite|strong="H5284", and|strong="H6030" said|strong="H6030",
2 Should|strong="H8193" not|strong="H3808" the|strong="H1697" multitude|strong="H7230" of|strong="H1697" words|strong="H1697" be|strong="H3808" answered|strong="H6030"? and|strong="H6030" should|strong="H8193" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H6030" full of|strong="H1697" talk|strong="H1697" be|strong="H3808" justified|strong="H6663"?
3 Should thy boastings make|strong="H2790" men|strong="H4962" hold their|strong="H4962" peace|strong="H2790"? and|strong="H2790" when thou mockest|strong="H3932", shall|strong="H2790" no man make|strong="H2790" thee ashamed|strong="H3637"?
4 For|strong="H5869" thou|strong="H1961" sayest, My|strong="H1961" doctrine|strong="H3948" is|strong="H1961" pure|strong="H2134", and|strong="H5869" I|strong="H5869" am|strong="H1961" clean|strong="H1249" in|strong="H5869" thine eyes|strong="H5869".
5 But|strong="H1696" Oh|strong="H4310" that|strong="H5414" God|strong="H5414" would|strong="H4310" speak|strong="H1696", and|strong="H1696" open|strong="H6605" his|strong="H5414" lips|strong="H8193" against|strong="H5973" thee|strong="H5414";
6 And|strong="H2451" that|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" would shew|strong="H5046" thee|strong="H5046" the|strong="H3588" secrets|strong="H8587" of|strong="H5771" wisdom|strong="H2451", that|strong="H3588" is|strong="H5771" manifold in|strong="H5046" effectual working|strong="H8454"! Know|strong="H3045" therefore|strong="H3588" that|strong="H3588" God|strong="H2451" exacteth|strong="H5382" of|strong="H5771" thee|strong="H5046" less|strong="H3588" than|strong="H3588" thine|strong="H3045" iniquity|strong="H5771" deserveth.
7 Canst thou|strong="H5704" by|strong="H5704" searching|strong="H2714" find|strong="H4672" out|strong="H4672" God? canst thou|strong="H5704" find|strong="H4672" out|strong="H4672" the|strong="H5704" Almighty|strong="H7706" unto|strong="H5704" perfection|strong="H8503"?
8 It|strong="H3045" is|strong="H4100" high|strong="H1363" as|strong="H1363" heaven|strong="H8064"; what|strong="H4100" canst thou|strong="H3045" do|strong="H6466"? deeper|strong="H6013" than|strong="H6013" Sheol|strong="H7585"; what|strong="H4100" canst thou|strong="H3045" know|strong="H3045"?
9 The|strong="H4480" measure|strong="H4055" thereof|strong="H4055" is|strong="H4480" longer than|strong="H4480" the|strong="H4480" earth, and|strong="H3220" broader|strong="H7342" than|strong="H4480" the|strong="H4480" sea|strong="H3220".
10 If|strong="H2498" he|strong="H7725" pass|strong="H2498" through|strong="H2498", and|strong="H7725" shut|strong="H5462" up|strong="H5462", and|strong="H7725" call|strong="H7725" unto|strong="H7725" judgment, then|strong="H7725" who|strong="H4310" can|strong="H4310" hinder|strong="H7725" him|strong="H7725"?
11 For|strong="H3588" he|strong="H1931" knoweth|strong="H3045" vain|strong="H7723" men|strong="H4962": he|strong="H1931" seeth|strong="H7200" iniquity also|strong="H3588", even|strong="H3588" though|strong="H3588" he|strong="H1931" consider|strong="H7200" it|strong="H1931" not|strong="H3808".
12 But|strong="H3205" vain|strong="H5014" man is|strong="H6501" void of|strong="H3205" understanding, yea, man is|strong="H6501" born|strong="H3205" as a|strong="H3068" wild|strong="H6501" ass|strong="H6501"’s colt|strong="H5895".
13 If thou set|strong="H3559" thine|strong="H3559" heart|strong="H3820" aright|strong="H3559", and|strong="H3820" stretch|strong="H6566" out|strong="H6566" thine|strong="H3559" hands|strong="H3709" toward|strong="H3709" him|strong="H3559";
14 If iniquity|strong="H5766" be|strong="H3027" in|strong="H7931" thine|strong="H7368" hand|strong="H3027", put|strong="H7368" it|strong="H7368" far|strong="H7368" away|strong="H7368", and|strong="H3027" let not|strong="H7368" unrighteousness|strong="H5766" dwell|strong="H7931" in|strong="H7931" thy|strong="H3027" tents;
15 Surely|strong="H3588" then|strong="H1961" shalt thou|strong="H6440" lift|strong="H5375" up|strong="H5375" thy|strong="H5375" face|strong="H6440" without|strong="H3808" spot|strong="H3971"; yea|strong="H3588", thou|strong="H6440" shalt be|strong="H1961" stedfast|strong="H3332", and|strong="H6440" shalt not|strong="H3808" fear|strong="H3372":
16 For|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3588" shalt forget|strong="H7911" thy|strong="H7911" misery|strong="H5999"; thou|strong="H3588" shalt remember|strong="H2142" it|strong="H3588" as|strong="H3588" waters|strong="H4325" that|strong="H3588" are|strong="H4325" passed|strong="H5674" away|strong="H5674":
17 And|strong="H6965" thy life|strong="H2465" shall be|strong="H1961" clearer|strong="H6965" than the|strong="H6965" noonday|strong="H6672"; though there|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" darkness, it|strong="H1242" shall be|strong="H1961" as|strong="H1961" the|strong="H6965" morning|strong="H1242".
18 And|strong="H7901" thou|strong="H3588" shalt be|strong="H3426" secure, because|strong="H3588" there|strong="H3426" is|strong="H3426" hope|strong="H8615"; yea|strong="H3588", thou|strong="H3588" shalt search|strong="H2658" about thee, and|strong="H7901" shalt take|strong="H7901" thy rest|strong="H7901" in|strong="H7901" safety.
19 Also thou|strong="H6440" shalt lie|strong="H7257" down|strong="H7257", and|strong="H6440" none shall|strong="H7227" make|strong="H2729" thee|strong="H6440" afraid|strong="H2729"; yea, many|strong="H7227" shall|strong="H7227" make|strong="H2729" suit|strong="H2470" unto|strong="H6440" thee|strong="H6440".
20 But|strong="H7563" the|strong="H4480" eyes|strong="H5869" of|strong="H5869" the|strong="H4480" wicked|strong="H7563" shall|strong="H5315" fail|strong="H3615", and|strong="H5869" they|strong="H5315" shall|strong="H5315" have|strong="H5869" no|strong="H4480" way|strong="H4498" to|strong="H5315" flee, and|strong="H5869" their|strong="H3615" hope|strong="H8615" shall|strong="H5315" be|strong="H5315" the|strong="H4480" giving up|strong="H4480" of|strong="H5869" the|strong="H4480" ghost|strong="H5315".
