Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
And
Zophar the Naamathite answereth
and saith:
--
Then
answered
Zophar the Naamathite ,
and said,
Is
a
multitude of words not
answered? And is
a man of lips
justified?
Should
not
the
multitude of words be
answered? and should
a man full
of talk
be
justified?
Thy devices
make men keep
silent,
Thou scornest
, and
none
is
causing
blushing!
Should
thy lies
make men hold
their
peace?
and
when
thou mockest
, shall
no
man
make
thee
ashamed?
And
thou sayest
, `Pure
`is'
my discourse
, And clean
I have
been
in Thine eyes. '
For
thou hast
said
, My doctrine
is
pure
, and I am
clean
in thine eyes.
And
yet,
O
that God had
spoken!
And doth
open His lips with
thee .
But
oh
that God would
speak,
and open his lips against
thee ;
And declare
to
thee secrets of wisdom, For
counsel
hath
foldings.
And
know thou
that God forgetteth
for
thee,
`Some'
of thine iniquity.
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
.
By searching dost
thou
find out God? Unto
perfection
find out the Mighty
One
?
Canst
thou
by searching find out God? canst
thou
find out the Almighty
unto
perfection
?
Heights
of
the
heavens!
--
what dost
thou? Deeper than Sheol!
--
what knowest
thou?
It
is
as
high
as
heaven;
what canst
thou do
? deeper than hell;
what canst
thou know
?
Longer than earth `is'
its
measure
, And broader than the sea.
The
measure
thereof
is
longer than the
earth, and broader than the sea.
If He pass
on
, and shut up, and
assemble
, Who
then dost
reverse
it
?
If he cut
off
, and shut up, or
gather
together
, then who
can
hinder
him
?
For he hath
known
men of
vanity,
And
He seeth iniquity,
And
one
doth
not consider `
it '!
For he knoweth
vain
men :
he seeth wickedness
also;
will
he
not then
consider it ?
And
empty
man
is
bold
, And
the
colt
of
a
wild
ass
man is
born.
For
vain
men
would
be
wise
, though
man be
born like
a
wild
ass's
colt
.
If thou --
thou
hast
prepared
thy
heart, And hast
spread
out unto
Him
thy
hands ,
If thou prepare
thine
heart, and stretch
out thine
hands toward
him;
If iniquity `is'
in thy
hand, put it far off
, And let not perverseness
dwell in thy tents
.
If iniquity be
in thine
hand, put it far away
, and let not wickedness
dwell in thy tabernacles
.
For then thou liftest
up thy face from
blemish
, And
thou hast
been
firm
, and fearest
not .
For then shalt
thou lift
up thy face without
spot;
yea
, thou shalt
be
stedfast
, and shalt
not fear:
For
thou dost
forget misery, As waters passed
away thou
rememberest.
Because
thou shalt
forget thy
misery, and
remember
it
as waters that
pass
away :
And above
the
noon
doth
age rise
, Thou fliest
--
as the morning thou
art
.
And thine
age shall
be
clearer
than
the
noonday:
thou
shalt
shine
forth
, thou shalt
be
as the morning.
And thou hast
trusted
because their
is hope, And
searched
--
in
confidence
thou liest
down
,
And thou shalt
be
secure,
because there
is hope ;
yea
, thou shalt
dig
about
thee
, and
thou
shalt
take
thy
rest
in
safety.
And
thou hast
rested
, And none is
causing
trembling
, And
many have
entreated
thy
face;
Also
thou shalt
lie
down
, and none shall
make
thee
afraid;
yea
, many shall
make
suit
unto
thee.
And
the eyes of the wicked are
consumed
, And refuge
hath
perished
from
them
, And their hope `is'
a
breathing
out
of soul!
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.
