11Then Zophar the Naamathite replied to Job.H6030H6691H5284H5592"Shouldn't someone answer this torrent of words? Is a person proved innocent just by a lot of talking?H7230H1697H6030H376H8193H66633Should I remain silent while you babble on? When you mock God, shouldn't someone make you ashamed?H907H2790H4962H2790H3932H36374You claim, 'My beliefs are pure,' and 'I am clean in the sight of God.'H559H3948H2134H1249H58695If only God would speak; if only he would tell you what he thinks!H199H5414H433H1696H6605H81936If only he would tell you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom is not a simple matter. Listen! God is doubtless punishing you far less than you deserve!H5046H8587H2451H3718H8454H3045H433H5382H57717"Can you solve the mysteries of God? Can you discover everything about the Almighty?H2714H4672H433H4672H7706H85038Such knowledge is higher than the heavens—and who are you? It is deeper than the underworld—what do you know?H1363H8064H6466H6013H7585H30459It is broader than the earth and wider than the sea.H4055H752H776H7342H322010If God comes and puts a person in prison or calls the court to order, who can stop him?H2498H5462H6950H772511For he knows those who are false, and he takes note of all their sins.H3045H7723H4962H7200H205H99512An empty-headed person won't become wise any more than a wild donkey can bear a human child.H5014H376H3823H120H3205H6501H589513"If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer!H3559H3820H6566H370914Get rid of your sins, and leave all iniquity behind you.H205H3027H7368H5766H7931H16815Then your face will brighten with innocence. You will be strong and free of fear.H5375H6440H3971H3332H337216You will forget your misery; it will be like water flowing away.H7911H5999H2142H4325H567417Your life will be brighter than the noonday. Even darkness will be as bright as morning.H2465H6965H6672H5774H124218Having hope will give you courage. You will be protected and will rest in safety.H982H3426H8615H2658H7901H98319You will lie down unafraid, and many will look to you for help.H7257H2729H7227H2470H644020But the wicked will be blinded.
