¹ Then Zophar the Na'amathite answered:² "Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and a man full of talk be vindicated?³ Should your babble silence men, and when you mock, shall no one shame you?⁴ For you say, 'My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in God's eyes.'⁵ But oh, that God would speak, and open his lips to you,⁶ and 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.

⁷ "Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?⁸ It is higher than heaven--what can you do? Deeper than Sheol--what can you know?⁹ Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.¹⁰ If he passes through, and imprisons, and calls to judgment, who can hinder him?¹¹ For he knows worthless men; when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?¹² But a stupid man will get understanding, when a wild ass's colt is born a man.

¹³ "If you set your heart aright, you will stretch out your hands toward him.¹⁴ If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tents.¹⁵ Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure, and will not fear.¹⁶ You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away.¹⁷ And your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.¹⁸ And you will have confidence, because there is hope; you will be protected and take your rest in safety.¹⁹ You will lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will entreat your favor.²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last."
