¹ And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:² Should not a flood of words be answered? And should a man of lips be justified?³ Should your lies make men silent? And will you mock, and no one make you ashamed?⁴ For you have said, My doctrine is pure; and, I am clean in Your eyes.⁵ But who will grant that God would speak and open His lips against you,⁶ and would tell you the secrets of wisdom, that counsel is double? Know then that God forgets some of your iniquity for you.

⁷ Can you find out God by searching? Or can you find out the end of the Almighty?⁸ Heights of the heavens! What can you do? It is deeper than Sheol; what can you know?⁹ Its measure is longer than the earth, broader than the sea.¹⁰ If He passes through and shuts up, or gathers together, then who can turn Him back?¹¹ For He knows the vanity of men; and He sees deceit, and will He not consider?¹² For foolish man takes heart, and man is born a wild ass's colt.

¹³ If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward Him;¹⁴ if iniquity is in your hand, put it far away and do not let wickedness dwell in your tents;¹⁵ surely then you shall lift up your face without blemish; and you will be steadfast, and you will not fear;¹⁶ for you shall forget your misery, and shall remember it as waters that have passed;¹⁷ and your lifetime shall rise more than the noonday; you shall fly; you shall be as the morning.¹⁸ And you shall trust, because there is hope. Yea, you shall look about and you shall lie down in safety.¹⁹ You shall lie down, and no one will be terrifying; yea, many shall seek your favor.²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked shall be consumed, and escape shall perish from them; and their hope shall be like the breathing out of the soul.
