1 Then answered6030 Zophar6691 the Naamathite,5284 and said,559
2 Should not3808 the multitude7230 of words1697 be answered?6030 and should518 a man376 full of talk8193 be justified?6663
3 Should thy lies907 make men4962 hold their peace?2790 and when thou mockest,3932 shall no369 man make thee ashamed?3637
4 For thou hast said,559 My doctrine3948 is pure,2134 and I am1961 clean1249 in thine eyes.5869
5 But199 oh that4310 God433 would5414 speak,1696 and open6605 his lips8193 against5973 thee;
6 And that he would show5046 thee the secrets8587 of wisdom,2451 that3588 they are double3718 to that which is!8454 Know3045 therefore that3588 God433 exacteth5382 of thee less than thine iniquity4480 5771 deserveth.
7 Canst thou by searching2714 find out4672 God?433 canst thou find out4672 the Almighty7706 unto5704 perfection?8503
8 It is as high1363 as heaven;8064 what4100 canst thou do?6466 deeper6013 than hell;4480 7585 what4100 canst thou know?3045
9 The measure4055 ther is longer752 than the earth,4480 776 and broader7342 than4480 the sea.3220
10 If518 he cut off,2498 and shut up,5462 or gather together,6950 then who4310 can hinder7725 him?
11 For3588 he1931 knoweth3045 vain7723 men:4962 he seeth7200 wickedness205 also; will he not3808 then consider995 it?
12 For vain5014 man376 would be wise,3823 though man120 be born3205 like a wild ass's6501 colt.5895
16 Because3588 thou859 shalt forget7911 thy misery,5999 and remember2142 it as waters4325 that pass away:5674
17 And thine age2465 shall be clearer6965 than the noonday;4480 6672 thou shalt shine forth,5774 thou shalt be1961 as the morning.1242
18 And thou shalt be secure,982 because3588 there3426 is hope;8615 yea, thou shalt dig2658 about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest7901 in safety.983
19 Also thou shalt lie down,7257 and none369 shall make thee afraid;2729 yea, many7227 shall make suit2470 unto6440 thee.
20 But the eyes5869 of the wicked7563 shall fail,3615 and they shall not escape,4498 6 4480 and their hope8615 shall be as the giving up4646 of the ghost.5315
