<TITLE>Job 11</TITLE><BR>Job 11<BR>1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,<BR>2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?<BR>3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?<BR>4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.<BR>5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;<BR>6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.<BR>7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?<BR>8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?<BR>9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.<BR>10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?<BR>11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?<BR>12 For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.<BR>13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;<BR>14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.<BR>15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:<BR>16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:<BR>17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.<BR>18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.<BR>19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.<BR>20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.<BR><BR><BR>
