KJV

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

KJV

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

KJV

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

KJV

For thou hast said, My doctrine [is] pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

KJV

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

KJV

And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that [they are] double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee [less] than thine iniquity [deserveth].

KJV

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

KJV

[It is] as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

KJV

The measure thereof [is] longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

KJV

If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?

KJV

For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider [it]?

KJV

For vain man would be wise, though man be born [like] a wild ass’s colt.

KJV

If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

KJV

If iniquity [be] in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

KJV

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

KJV

Because thou shalt forget [thy] misery, [and] remember [it] as waters [that] pass away:

KJV

And [thine] age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

KJV

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

KJV

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

KJV

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope [shall be as] the giving up of the ghost.
