Compare: Job 11

ASV

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

ASV

Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?

ASV

Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

ASV

For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in thine eyes.

ASV

But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee,

ASV

And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

ASV

Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

ASV

It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?

ASV

The measure thereof is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea.

ASV

If he pass through, and shut up, And call unto judgment, then who can hinder him?

ASV

For he knoweth false men: He seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not.

ASV

But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born [as] a wild ass’s colt.

ASV

If thou set thy heart aright, And stretch out thy hands toward him;

ASV

If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, And let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.

ASV

Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; Yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

ASV

For thou shalt forget thy misery; Thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away,

ASV

And [thy] life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

ASV

And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; Yea, thou shalt search [about thee], and shalt take thy rest in safety.

ASV

Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; Yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

ASV

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.
