Job 11

Zophar Speaks: You Deserve Worse

11Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:H6030H6691H5284H5592"Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and a man full of talk be judged right?H7230H1697H6030H376H8193H66633Should your babble silence men, and when you mock, shall no one shame you?H907H2790H4962H2790H3932H36374For you say, 'My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in God's eyes.'H559H3948H2134H1249H58695But oh, that God would speak and open his lips to you,H199H5414H433H1696H6605H81936and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.H5046H8587H2451H3718H8454H3045H433H5382H57717"Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?H2714H4672H433H4672H7706H85038It is higher than heaven—what can you do? Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?H1363H8064H6466H6013H7585H30459Its measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.H4055H752H776H7342H322010If he passes through and imprisons and summons the court, who can turn him back?H2498H5462H6950H772511For he knows worthless men; when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?H3045H7723H4962H7200H205H99512But a stupid man will get understanding when a wild donkey's colt is born a man!H5014H376H3823H120H3205H6501H589513"If you prepare your heart, you will stretch out your hands toward him.H3559H3820H6566H370914If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents.H205H3027H7368H5766H7931H16815Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and will not fear.H5375H6440H3971H3332H337216You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away.H7911H5999H2142H4325H567417And your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.H2465H6965H6672H5774H124218And you will feel secure, because there is hope; you will look around and take your rest in security.H982H3426H8615H2658H7901H98319You will lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will court your favor.H7257H2729H7227H2470H644020But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last."H5869H7563H3615H6H4498H8615H4646H5315

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
