        Job 11
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         
      
      
        1.  Then answered 
      
      
        <b>Zophar the Naamathite</b>
      
      
        , and said,
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  Should not the multitude of words be answered? and 
      
      
        <b>should a man full of talk be justified?</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         3.  Should thy 
      
      
        <b>lies</b>
      
      
         make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
      
    <br/>

      
         4.  For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>5.  But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         6.  And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which 
        is! 
      
      
        <b>know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         7.  Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto 
        perfection?
      
    <br/>

      
         8.  It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
      
    <br/>

      
         9.  The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
      
    <br/>

      
         10.  If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
      
    <br/>

      
         11.  For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        13.  If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
      
    <br/>

      
         14.  If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy 
        tabernacles.
      
    <br/>

      
         15.  For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and 
        shalt not fear:
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>16.  Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         17.  And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt 
        be as the morning.
      
    <br/>

      
         18.  And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and 
        thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
      
    <br/>

      
         19.  Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit 
        unto thee.
      
    <br/>

      
         20.  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.
