Chap. XI.
Sophar imputeth Iobs discourse, about the cause of his so great afflictions, to
insolencie of mind, and loquasitie of tongue, perswading him to acknowlege
greuous sinnes, that so he may haue the reward of a iust man. note
1 Bvt sophar the Naamathite answering, said:
2 Why, shal
he that speaketh manie thinges, not heare also? or note shal a
man ful of wordes be iustified?
3 To thee onlie shal men hold
their peace? and when thou hast mocked others, shalt thou
be confuted of none?
4 For thou hast sayd: My word is pure,
and I am cleane in thy sight.
5 And I would wish that God
would speake with thee, and would open his lippes to thee,
6 That he might shew thee the secretes of wisdom, and that
his law is manifold, and thou mightest vnderstand that thou
art exacted much lesser thinges of him, note then thy iniquitie
deserueth.
7 Peraduenture thou wilt comprehend the steppes
of God, and wil find out the Omnipotent perfectly?
8 He is
higher then heauen, and what wilt thou doe: deeper then
hel, and how wilt thou know?
9 The measure of him is longer
then the earth, and broder then the sea.
10 If he shal ouerthrow
al things, or shal strayten them into one, who shal say
against him?
11 For he knoweth the vanitie of men, & seing iniquity
-- --
doth he not c&obar;sider?
12 A vaine man is extolled into pride,
and thinketh him self borne free as a wilde asses colt.
13 But
thou hast confirmed thy hart, & hast spred thy handes to him.
14 If thou shalt take away from thee the iniquitie note that is in
thy hand, and iniustice remaine not in thy tabernacle:
15 Then
mayst thou lift vp thy face wthout spotte, and thou shalt,
be stable, and shalt not feare.
16 Thou shalt also forget miserie,
and shalt remember it as waters that are passed.
17 And
the brightnes as it were of noone daies, shal arise to thee at
euening: and when thou shalt think thyself consumed, thou
shalt rise as the day starre.
18 And thou shalt haue confidence,
hope being set before thee, and buried thou shalt sleepe secure.
19 Thou shalt rest, and there shal be none to terrifie
thee: and verie manie shal besech thy face.
20 But the eies of
the impious shal decay, and escape shal faile them, and their
hope the abomination of the soule.
