- 1. And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: --
- 2. Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified?
- 3. Thy devices make men keep silent, Thou scornest, and none is causing blushing!
- 4. And thou sayest, `Pure `is' my discourse, And clean I have been in Thine eyes.'
- 5. And yet, O that God had spoken! And doth open His lips with thee.
- 6. And declare to thee secrets of wisdom, For counsel hath foldings. And know thou that God forgetteth for thee, `Some' of thine iniquity.
- 7. By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?
- 8. Heights of the heavens! -- what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! -- what knowest thou?
- 9. Longer than earth `is' its measure, And broader than the sea.
- 10. If He pass on, and shut up, and assemble, Who then dost reverse it?
- 11. For he hath known men of vanity, And He seeth iniquity, And one doth not consider `it'!
- 12. And empty man is bold, And the colt of a wild ass man is born.
- 13. If thou -- thou hast prepared thy heart, And hast spread out unto Him thy hands,
- 14. If iniquity `is' in thy hand, put it far off, And let not perverseness dwell in thy tents.
- 15. For then thou liftest up thy face from blemish, And thou hast been firm, and fearest not.
- 16. For thou dost forget misery, As waters passed away thou rememberest.
- 17. And above the noon doth age rise, Thou fliest -- as the morning thou art.
- 18. And thou hast trusted because their is hope, And searched -- in confidence thou liest down,
- 19. And thou hast rested, And none is causing trembling, And many have entreated thy face;
- 20. And the eyes of the wicked are consumed, And refuge hath perished from them, And their hope `is' a breathing out of soul!
