1Then Zophar^H6691 the Naamathite^H5284 answered,^H6030
2"Shall a multitude^H7230 of words^H1697 go^H6030 unanswered,^H3808H6030 And a talkative^H8193 man^H376 be acquitted^H6663?
3"Shall your boasts^H907 silence^H2790 men^H4962? And shall you scoff^H3932 and none^H369 rebuke^H3637?
4"For you have said,^H559 'My teaching^H3948 is pure,^H2134 And I am^H1961 innocent^H1249 in your eyes.^H5869'
5"But would^H4310H5414 that God^H433 might speak,^H1696 And open^H6605 His lips^H8193 against^H5973 you,
6And show^H5046 you the secrets^H8587 of wisdom!^H2451 For sound^H8454 wisdom^H8454 has two^H3718 sides.^H3718 Know^H3045 then that God^H433 forgets^H5382 a part of your iniquity.^H5771
7"Can you discover^H4672 the depths^H2714 of God^H433? Can you discover^H4672 the limits^H8503 of the Almighty^H7706?
8"[They are] high^H1363 as the heavens,^H8064 what^H4100 can you do^H6466? Deeper^H6013 than^H4480 Sheol,^H7585 what^H4100 can you know^H3045?
9"Its measure^H4055 is longer^H752 than^H4480 the earth,^H776 And broader^H7342 than^H4480 the sea.^H3220
10"If^H518 He passes^H2498 by or shuts^H5462 up, Or calls^H6950 an assembly,^H6950 who^H4310 can restrain^H7725 Him?
11"For He knows^H3045 false^H7723 men,^H4962 And He sees^H7200 iniquity^H205 without^H3808 investigating.^H995
12"And an idiot^H376H5014 will become^H3823 intelligent^H3823 When the foal^H5895 of a wild^H6501 donkey^H6501 is born^H3205 a man.^H120
13"If^H518 you would direct^H3559 your heart^H3820 right,^H3559 And spread^H6566 out your hand^H3709 to Him;
14If^H518 iniquity^H205 is in your hand,^H3027 put^H7368 it far^H7368 away,^H7368 And do not let wickedness^H9390 dwell^H7931 in your tents.^H168
15"Then,^H227 indeed,^H3588 you could lift^H5375 up your face^H6440 without^H4480 [moral] defect,^H9249 And you would be steadfast^H3332 and not fear.^H3372
16"For you would forget^H7911 [your] trouble,^H5999 As waters^H4325 that have passed^H5674 by, you would remember^H2142 [it.]
17"And your life^H2465 would be brighter^H6965 than^H4480 noonday;^H6672 Darkness^H9646 would be like the morning.^H1242
18"Then you would trust,^H982 because^H3588 there^H3426 is hope;^H8615 And you would look^H2658 around^H2658 and rest^H7901 securely.^H983
19"You would lie^H7257 down^H7257 and none^H369 would disturb^H2729 [you,] And many^H7227 would entreat^H9134 your favor.^H6440
20"But the eyes^H5869 of the wicked^H7563 will fail,^H3615 And there will be no escape^H6 for them; And their hope^H4498 is to breathe^H8615 their last.^H4646"
