- Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
- "Are all these words to go unanswered? Is this talker to be vindicated?
- Will your idle talk reduce others to silence? Will no one rebuke you when you mock?
- You say to God, 'My beliefs are flawless and I am pure in your sight.'
- Oh, how I wish that God would speak, that he would open his lips against you
- and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.
- "Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
- They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know?
- Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
- "If he comes along and confines you in prison and convenes a court, who can oppose him?
- Surely he recognizes deceivers; and when he sees evil, does he not take note?
- But the witless can no more become wise than a wild donkey's colt can be born human.[1]
- "Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him,
- if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
- then, free of fault, you will lift up your face; you will stand firm and without fear.
- You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by.
- Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.
- You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
- You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.
- But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; their hope will become a dying gasp."
