Chapter 11

¹ Then Zophar the Minaean answered and said,

Job 11:1

² He that speaks much, should also hear on the other side:

Job 11:2

³ Be not a speaker of many words;

Job 11:3

⁴ For say not, I am pure in my works,

Job 11:4

⁵ But oh that the Lord would speak to thee,

Job 11:5

⁶ Then shall he declare to thee the power of wisdom;

Job 11:6

⁷ Wilt thou find out the traces of the Lord?

Job 11:7

⁸ Heaven [is] high; and what wilt thou do?

Job 11:8

⁹ Or longer than the measure of the earth,

Job 11:9

¹⁰ And if he should overthrow all things, who will say to him, What hast thou done?

Job 11:10

¹¹ For he knows the works of transgressors;

Job 11:11

¹² But man vainly buoys himself up with words;

Job 11:12

¹³ For if thou hast made thy heart pure,

Job 11:13

¹⁴ If there is any iniquity in thy hands,

Job 11:14

¹⁵ For thus shall thy countenance shine again, as pure water;

Job 11:15

¹⁶ And thou shalt forget trouble,

Job 11:16

¹⁷ And thy prayer [shall be] as the morning star,

Job 11:17

¹⁸ And thou shalt be confident, because thou hast hope;

Job 11:18

¹⁹ For thou shalt be at ease, and there shall be no one to fight against thee;

Job 11:19

²⁰ But safety shall fail them;

Job 11:20
