Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said: |
2
|
"Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and a man full of talk be judged right? |
3
|
Should your babble silence men, and when you mock, shall no one shame you? |
4
|
For you say, 'My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in God's eyes.' |
5
|
But oh, that God would speak and open his lips to you, |
6
|
and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves. |
7
|

"If you prepare your heart, you will stretch out your hands toward him. |
14
|
If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents. |
15
|
Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and will not fear. |
16
|
You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away. |
17
|
And your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning. |
18
|
And you will feel secure, because there is hope; you will look around and take your rest in security. |
19
|
You will lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will court your favor. |
20
|
But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last." |
