Zophar Asks, Can You Find the Depths of God?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:1 -

Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:2 -

“Shall a multitude of words go unanswered,

And a man of lips be in the right?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:3 -

“Shall your boasts silence men?

And shall you mock and none rebuke?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:4 -

“You have said, ‘My learning is pure,

And I am innocent in your eyes.’

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:5 -

“But would that God might speak,

And open His lips against you,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:6 -

And tell you the secrets of wisdom!

For sound wisdom [fn]has two sides.

Know then that God [fn]forgets a part of your iniquity.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:7 -

“Can you find the depths of God?

Can you find the limits of the Almighty?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:8 -

They are high as [fn]the heavens, what can you do?

Deeper than Sheol, what can you know?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:9 -

“Its measure is longer than the earth

And broader than the sea.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:10 -

“If He sweeps by or shuts up,

Or calls an assembly, who can turn Him around?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:11 -

“For He knows worthless men,

And He sees wickedness, [fn]so will He not carefully consider it?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:12 -

[fn]Yet an empty headed man will obtain a heart of wisdom,

And the [fn]foal of a wild donkey is born a man.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:13 -

“If you would set your heart right

And spread out your hand to Him,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:14 -

If wickedness is in your hand, put it far away,

And do not let unrighteousness dwell in your tents;

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:15 -

Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without moral defect,

And you would be steadfast and not fear.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:16 -

“For you would forget your trouble,

As waters that pass by, so you would remember it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:17 -

“And your lifetime would arise brighter than noonday;

Darkness would be like the morning.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:18 -

“Then you would trust, because there is hope;

And you would search around and rest securely.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:19 -

“You would lie down and none would make you tremble,

And many would entreat your [fn]favor.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:20 -

“But the eyes of the wicked will come to an end,

And escape will perish from them;

And their hope is the expiring of their soul.”
