111And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: --+2Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified?+3Thy devices make men keep silent, Thou scornest, and none is causing blushing!+4And thou sayest, `Pure is my discourse, And clean I have been in Thine eyes.'+5And yet, O that God had spoken! And doth open His lips with thee.+6And declare to thee secrets of wisdom, For counsel hath foldings. And know thou that God forgetteth for thee, Some of thine iniquity.+7By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?+8Heights of the heavens! --what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! --what knowest thou?+9Longer than earth is its measure, And broader than the sea.+10If He pass on, and shut up, and assemble, Who then dost reverse it?+11For he hath known men of vanity, And He seeth iniquity, And one doth not consider it!+12And empty man is bold, And the colt of a wild ass man is born.+13If thou--thou hast prepared thy heart, And hast spread out unto Him thy hands,+14If iniquity is in thy hand, put it far off, And let not perverseness dwell in thy tents.+15For then thou liftest up thy face from blemish, And thou hast been firm, and fearest not.+16For thou dost forget misery, As waters passed away thou rememberest.+17And above the noon doth age rise, Thou fliest--as the morning thou art.+18And thou hast trusted because their is hope, And searched--in confidence thou liest down,+19And thou hast rested, And none is causing trembling, And many have entreated thy face;+20And the eyes of the wicked are consumed, And refuge hath perished from them, And their hope is a breathing out of soul!+
