| Job 11 Text (WEB)
|
- Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,
- "Shouldn't the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?
- Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?
- For you say, 'My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.'
- But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you,
- that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
- "Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
- They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?
- Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
- If he passes by, or confines, or convenes a court, then who can oppose him?
- For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn't consider it.
- An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey's colt.
- "If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.
- If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Don't let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.
- Surely then you shall lift up your face without spot; Yes, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
- for you shall forget your misery. You shall remember it as waters that are passed away.
- Life shall be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it shall be as the morning.
- You shall be secure, because there is hope. Yes, you shall search, and shall take your rest in safety.
- Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. Yes, many shall court your favor.
- But the eyes of the wicked shall fail. They shall have no way to flee. Their hope shall be the giving up of the spirit."

- ויען צפר הנעמתי ויאמר׃
- הרב דברים לא יענה ואם־איש שפתים יצדק׃
- בדיך מתים יחרישו ותלעג ואין מכלם׃
- ותאמר זך לקחי ובר הייתי בעיניך׃
- ואולם מי־יתן אלוה דבר ויפתח שפתיו עמך׃
- ויגד־לכ תעלמות חכמה כי־כפלים לתושיה ודע כי־ישה לך אלוה מעונך׃
- החקר אלוה תמצא אם עד־תכלית שדי תמצא׃
- גבהי שמים מה־תפעל עמקה משאול מה־תדע׃
- ארכה מארץ מדה ורחבה מני־ים׃
- אם־יחלף ויסגיר ויקהיל ומי ישיבנו׃
- כי־הוא ידע מתי־שוא וירא־און ולא יתבוןן׃
- ואיש נבוב ילבב ועיר פרא אדם יולד׃
- אם־אתה הכינות לבך ופרשת אליו כפך׃
- אם־און בידך הרחיקהו ואל־תשכן באהליך עולה׃
- כי־אז תשא פניך ממום והיית מצק ולא תירא׃
- כי־אתה עמל תשכח כמים עברו תזכר׃
- ומצהרים יקום חלד תעפה כבקר תהיה׃
- ובטחת כי־יש תקוה וחפרת לבטח תשכב׃
- ורבצת ואין מחריד וחלו פניך רבים׃
- ועיני רשעים תכלינה ומנוס אבד מנהם ותקותם מפח־נפש׃ ף

| Job 11 Text (Latin)
|
- Respondens autem Sophar Naamathites, dixit :
- Numquid qui multa loquitur, non et audiet ? aut vir verbosus justificabitur ?
- Tibi soli tacebunt homines ? et cum ceteros irriseris, a nullo confutaberis ?
- Dixisti enim : Purus est sermo meus, et mundus sum in conspectu tuo.
- Atque utinam Deus loqueretur tecum, et aperiret labia sua tibi,
- ut ostenderet tibi secreta sapientiæ, et quod multiplex esset lex ejus, et intelligeres quod multo minora exigaris ab eo quam meretur iniquitas tua !
- Forsitan vestigia Dei comprehendes, et usque ad perfectum Omnipotentem reperies ?
- Excelsior cælo est, et quid facies ? profundior inferno, et unde cognosces ?
- Longior terra mensura ejus et latior mari.
- Si subverterit omnia, vel in unum coarctaverit, quis contradicet ei ?
- Ipse enim novit hominum vanitatem ; et videns iniquitatem, nonne considerat ?
- Vir vanus in superbiam erigitur, et tamquam pullum onagri se liberum natum putat.
- Tu autem firmasti cor tuum, et expandisti ad eum manus tuas.
- Si iniquitatem quæ est in manu tua abstuleris a te, et non manserit in tabernaculo tuo injustitia,
- tunc levare poteris faciem tuam absque macula ; et eris stabilis, et non timebis.
- Miseriæ quoque oblivisceris et quasi aquarum quæ præterierunt recordaberis.
- Et quasi meridianus fulgor consurget tibi ad vesperam ; et cum te consumptum putaveris, orieris ut lucifer.
- Et habebis fiduciam, proposita tibi spe, et defossus securus dormies.
- Requiesces, et non erit qui te exterreat ; et deprecabuntur faciem tuam plurimi.
- Oculi autem impiorum deficient, et effugium peribit ab eis, et spes illorum abominatio animæ.

| Job 11 Text (KJV)
|
- Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
- Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
- Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
- For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
- But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
- And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
- Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
- It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
- The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
- If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
- For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
- For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
- If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
- If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
- For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
- Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
- And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
- And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
- Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
- 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.
