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.”

Zophar’s Speech

[1] Then answered H6030 Zophar H6691 the Naamathite, H5284 and said, H559
[2] Should H7230 not H3808 the multitude H7230 of words H1697 be answered? H6030
And should a man H376 full of talk H8193§ be justified? H6663
[3] Should thy lies H907§ make H2790 men H4962 hold their peace? H2790
And when thou mockest, H3932 shall no man make thee ashamed? H3637
[4] For thou hast said, H559 My doctrine H3948 is pure, H2134
And I am clean H1249 in thine eyes. H5869
[5] But H199 oh that H5414 God H433 would speak, H1696
And open H6605 his lips H8193 against thee;
[6] And that he would shew H5046 thee the secrets H8587 of wisdom, H2451
That they are double H3718 to that which is! H8454
Know H3045 therefore that God H433 exacteth H5382 of thee less than thine iniquity H5771 deserveth.
[7] Canst thou by searching H2714 find out H4672 God? H433
Canst thou find H4672 out the Almighty H7706 unto H5704 perfection? H8503
[8] It is as high H1363 as heaven; H8064§ what H4100 canst thou do? H6466
Deeper H6013 than hell; H7585 what H4100 canst thou know? H3045
[9] The measure H4055 thereof is longer H752 than the earth, H776
And broader H7342 than the sea. H3220
[10] If he cut off, H2498§ and shut up, H5462
Or gather together, H6950 then who can hinder H7725 him?§
[11] For H3588 he knoweth H3045 vain H7723 men: H4962
He seeth H7200 wickedness H205 also; will he not then consider H995 it?
[12] For vain H5014§ man H376 would be wise, H3823
Though man H120 be born H3205 like a wild ass’s H6501 colt. H5895
[13] If thou prepare H3559 thine heart, H3820
And stretch H6566 out thine hands H3709 toward him;
[14] If iniquity H205 be in thine hand, H3027 put it far away, H7368
And let not wickedness H5766 dwell H7931 in thy tabernacles. H168
[15] For H3588 then H227 shalt thou lift up H5375 thy face H6440 without spot; H3971
Yea, thou shalt be stedfast, H3332 and shalt not fear: H3372
[16] Because H3588 thou shalt forget H7911 thy misery, H5999
And remember H2142 it as waters H4325 that pass away: H5674
[17] And thine age H2465 shall be clearer H6965 than the noonday; H6672
Thou shalt shine forth, H5774 thou shalt be as the morning. H1242
[18] And thou shalt be secure, H982 because H3588 there is H3426 hope; H8615
Yea, thou shalt dig H2658 about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest H7901 in safety. H983
[19] Also thou shalt lie down, H7257 and none shall make thee afraid; H2729
Yea, many H7227 shall make suit H2470 unto thee. H6440§
[20] But the eyes H5869 of the wicked H7563 shall fail, H3615
And they shall not escape, H6§
H4498 And their hope H8615 shall be as the giving up H4646 of the ghost. H5315§

[1] Ὑπολαβὼν G5274 δὲ G1161 Σωφαρ ὁ G3588 Μιναῖος λέγει G3004 [2] Ὁ G3588 τὰ G3588 πολλὰ G4183 λέγων G3004 καὶ G2532 ἀντακούσεται· ἢ G2228 καὶ G2532 ὁ G3588 εὔλαλος οἴεται G3633 εἶναι G1511 δίκαιος; G1342 Εὐλογημένος G2127 γεννητὸς G1084 γυναικὸς G1135 ὀλιγόβιος. [3] Μὴ G3361 πολὺς G4183 ἐν G1722 ῥήμασιν G4487 γίνου, G1096 οὐ G3756 γάρ G1063 ἐστιν G2076 ὁ G3588 ἀντικρινόμενός σοι. G4671 [4] Μὴ G3361 γὰρ G1063 λέγε G3004 ὅτι G3754 Καθαρός G2513 εἰμι G1510 τοῖς G3588 ἔργοις G2041 καὶ G2532 ἄμεμπτος G273 ἐναντίον G1726 αὐτοῦ. G846 [5] Ἀλλὰ G235 πῶς G4459 ἂν G302 ὁ G3588 κύριος G2962 λαλήσαι G2980 πρὸς G4314 σέ; G4571 Καὶ G2532 ἀνοίξει G455 χείλη G5491 αὐτοῦ G846 μετὰ G3326 σοῦ. G4675 [6] Εἶτα G1534 ἀναγγελεῖ G312 σοι G4671 δύναμιν G1411 σοφίας, G4678 ὅτι G3754 διπλοῦς G1362 ἔσται G2071 τῶν G3588 κατὰ G2596 σέ· G4571 καὶ G2532 τότε G5119 γνώσῃ G1097 ὅτι G3754 ἄξιά G514 σοι G4671 ἀπέβη G576 ἀπὸ G575 κυρίου G2962 ὧν G3739 ἡμάρτηκας. G264 [7] Ἦ G2229 ἴχνος G2487 κυρίου G2962 εὑρήσεις G2147 ἢ G2228 εἰς G1519 τὰ G3588 ἔσχατα G2078 ἀφίκου, G864 ἃ G3739 ἐποίησεν G4160 ὁ G3588 παντοκράτωρ; G3841 [8] Ὑψηλὸς G5308 ὁ G3588 οὐρανός, G3772 καὶ G2532 τί G5101 ποιήσεις; G4160 Βαθύτερα G901 δὲ G1161 τῶν G3588 ἐν G1722 ᾅδου G86 τί G5101 οἶδας; G1492 [9] Ἢ G2228 μακρότερα G3117 μέτρου G3358 γῆς G1093 ἢ G2228 εὔρους θαλάσσης; G2281 [10] Ἐὰν G1437 δὲ G1161 καταστρέψῃ G2690 τὰ G3588 πάντα, G3956 τίς G5101 ἐρεῖ G2046 αὐτῷ G846 Τί G5101 ἐποίησας; G4160 [11] Αὐτὸς G846 γὰρ G1063 οἶδεν G1492 ἔργα G2041 ἀνόμων, G459 ἰδὼν G1492 δὲ G1161 ἄτοπα G824 οὐ G3756 παρόψεται. [12] Ἄνθρωπος G444 δὲ G1161 ἄλλως G247 νήχεται λόγοις, G3056 βροτὸς δὲ G1161 γεννητὸς G1084 γυναικὸς G1135 ἴσα G2470 ὄνῳ G3688 ἐρημίτῃ. [13] Εἰ G1487 γὰρ G1063 σὺ G4771 καθαρὰν G2513 ἔθου G5087 τὴν G3588 καρδίαν G2588 σου, G4675 ὑπτιάζεις δὲ G1161 χεῖρας G5495 πρὸς G4314 αὐτόν, G846 [14] εἰ G1487 ἄνομόν G459 τί G5100 ἐστιν G2076 ἐν G1722 χερσίν G5495 σου, G4675 πόρρω G4206 ποίησον G4160 αὐτὸ G846 ἀπὸ G575 σοῦ, G4675 ἀδικία G93 δὲ G1161 ἐν G1722 διαίτῃ σου G4675 μὴ G3361 αὐλισθήτω.
