Job 11
| |
| 11:1
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, |
|
| 11:2
Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of
talk be justified? |
|
| 11:3
Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no
man make thee ashamed? |
|
| 11:4
For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes. |
|
| 11:5
But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee; |
|
| 11:6
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. |
|
| 11:7
Canst thou by searching
find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? |
"Canst thou by searching find out
God?" It seems that for once the Bible agrees with reason and answers no to
this question. But Paul disagrees in Rom.1:20
Can God be found from reason alone?
|
| 11:8
It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst
thou know?
|
| 11:9
The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
|
"The measure thereof is longer than the earth."
(What is the length of a sphere?)

| 11:10
If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
|
| 11:11
For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then
consider it? |
|
| 11:12
For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt. |
|
| 11:13
If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him; |
|
| 11:14
If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness
dwell in thy tabernacles. |
|
| 11:15
For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be
stedfast, and shalt not fear: |
|
| 11:16
Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass
away: |
|
| 11:17
And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth,
thou shalt be as the morning. |
|
| 11:18
And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about
thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety. |
|
| 11:19
Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall
make suit unto thee. |
|
| 11:20
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.
