World English Bible Classic
[1] Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,
[2] “Shouldn’t the multitude of words be answered?
Should a man full of talk be justified?
[3] Should your boastings make men hold their peace?
When you mock, will no man make you ashamed?
[4] For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure.
I am clean in your eyes.’
[5] But oh that God would speak,
and open his lips against you,
[6] that he would show you the secrets of wisdom!
For true wisdom has two sides.
Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
[7] “Can you fathom the mystery of God?
Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
[8] They are high as heaven. What can you do?
They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?
[9] Its measure is longer than the earth,
and broader than the sea.
[10] If he passes by, or confines,
or convenes a court, then who can oppose him?
[11] For he knows false men.
He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn’t consider it.
[12] An empty-headed man becomes wise
when a man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.
[13] “If you set your heart aright,
stretch out your hands toward him.
[14] If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away.
Don’t let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.
[15] Surely then you will lift up your face without spot.
Yes, you will be steadfast, and will not fear,
[16] for you will forget your misery.
You will remember it like waters that have passed away.
[17] Life will be clearer than the noonday.
Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.
[18] You will be secure, because there is hope.
Yes, you will search, and will take your rest in safety.
[19] Also you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid.
Yes, many will court your favor.
[20] But the eyes of the wicked will fail.
They will have no way to flee.
Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”

[1] Then answeredH6030(QalImpf) ZopharH6691 the Naamathite,H5284 and said,H559(QalImpf) [2] Should not the multitudeH7230 of wordsH1697 be answered?H6030(NiphImpf) and should a manH376 full of talkH8193 be justified?H6663(QalImpf) [3] Should thy liesH907 makeH2790 menH4962 hold their peace?H2790(HiphImpf) and when thou mockest,H3932(QalImpf) shall no man make thee ashamed?H3637(HiphPtc) [4] For thou hast said,H559(QalImpf) My doctrineH3948 [is] pure,H2134 and I am cleanH1249 in thine eyes.H5869 [5] ButH199 oh thatH5414(QalImpf) GodH433 would speak,H1696(PielInf) and openH6605(QalImpf) his lipsH8193 against thee; [6] And that he would shewH5046(HiphImpf) thee the secretsH8587 of wisdom,H2451 that [they are] doubleH3718 to that which is!H8454 KnowH3045(QalImpv) therefore that GodH433 exactethH5382(HiphImpf) of thee [less] than thine iniquityH5771 [deserveth]. [7] Canst thou by searchingH2714 find outH4672(QalImpf) God?H433 canst thou findH4672(QalImpf) out the AlmightyH7706 unto perfection?H8503 [8] [It is] as highH1363 as heaven;H8064 what canst thou do?H6466(QalImpf) deeperH6013 than hell;H7585 what canst thou know?H3045(QalImpf) [9] The measureH4055 thereof [is] longerH752 than the earth,H776 and broaderH7342 than the sea.H3220 [10] If he cut off,H2498(QalImpf) and shut up,H5462(HiphImpf) or gather together,H6950(HiphImpf) then who can hinderH7725(HiphImpf) him? [11] For he knowethH3045(QalPerf) vainH7723 men:H4962 he seethH7200(QalImpf) wickednessH205 also; will he not then considerH995(HiplImpf) [it]? [12] For vainH5014(QalPasPtc) manH376 would be wise,H3823(NiphImpf) though manH120 be bornH3205(NiphImpf) [like] a wild ass’sH6501 colt.H5895 [13] If thou prepareH3559(HiphPerf) thine heart,H3820 and stretchH6566(QalPerf) out thine handsH3709 toward him; [14] If iniquityH205 [be] in thine hand,H3027 put it far away,H7368(HiphImpv) and let not wickednessH5766 dwellH7931(HiphImpf) in thy tabernacles.H168 [15] For then shalt thou lift upH5375(QalImpf) thy faceH6440 without spot;H3971 yea, thou shalt be stedfast,H3332(HophPtc) and shalt not fear:H3372(QalImpf) [16] Because thou shalt forgetH7911(QalImpf) [thy] misery,H5999 [and] rememberH2142(QalImpf) [it] as watersH4325 [that] pass away:H5674(QalPerf) [17] And [thine] ageH2465 shall be clearerH6965(QalImpf) than the noonday;H6672 thou shalt shine forth,H5774(QalImpf) thou shalt be as the morning.H1242 [18] And thou shalt be secure,H982(QalPerf) because there isH3426 hope;H8615 yea, thou shalt digH2658(QalPerf) [about thee, and] thou shalt take thy restH7901(QalImpf) in safety.H983 [19] Also thou shalt lie down,H7257(QalPerf) and none shall make [thee] afraid;H2729(HiphPtc) yea, manyH7227 shall make suitH2470(PielPerf) unto thee.H6440 [20] But the eyesH5869 of the wickedH7563 shall fail,H3615(QalImpf) and they shall not escape,H6(QalPerf) and their hopeH8615 [shall be as] the giving upH4646 of the ghost.H5315
