CHAP. XI.
Sophar reproveth Job, for
justifying himself, and inviteth
him to repentance.
1 Then Sophar the Naamathite
answered, and
said:
2 Shall not he that speaketh
much, hear also? or shall
a man full of talk be justified?
3 Shall men hold their
peace to thee only? and when
thou hast mocked others, shall
no man confute thee?
4 For thou hast said: My
word is pure, and I am clean
in thy sight.
5 And I wish that God
would speak with thee, and
would open his lips to thee,
6 That he might shew thee
the secrets of wisdom, and that
his law is manifold, and thou
mightest understand that he
exacteth much less of thee,
than thy iniquity deserveth.
7 Peradventure thou wilt
comprehend the steps of God,
and wilt find out the Almighty
perfectly?
8 He is higher than heaven,
and what wilt thou do:
he is deeper than hell, and
how wilt thou know?
9 The measure of him is
longer than the earth, and
broader than the sea.
10 If he shall over-turn all
things, or shall press them together,
who shall contradict
him?
-- --
11 For he knoweth the vanity
of men, and when he
seeth iniquity, doth he not
consider it?
12 A vain man is lifted up
into pride, and thinketh himself
born free like a wild asses
colt.
13 But thou hast hardened
thy heart, and hast spread thy
hands to him.
14 If thou wilt put away
from thee the iniquity that is
in thy hand, and let not injustice
remain in thy tabernacle:
15 Then mayst thou lift
up thy face without spot, and
thou shalt be stedfast, and
shalt not fear.
16 Thou shalt also forget
thy misery, and remember it
only as waters that are passed
away.
17 And brightness like that
of the noon day, shall arise to
thee at evening: and when
thou shalt think thyself consumed,
thou shalt rise as the
day-star.
18 And thou shalt have
confidence, hope being set before
thee, and being buried
thou shalt sleep secure.
19 Thou shalt rest, and
there shall be none to make
thee afraid: and many shall
intreat thy face.
20 But the eyes of the
wicked shall decay, and the
way to escape shall fail them,
and their hope the abomination
of the soul.
