Iyov 11
11
1Then answered Tzophar the Na'amati, and said,
2Should not the multitude of devarim be answered? And should an ish full of talk yitzdak (be justified)?
3Should thy vain talk silence men, so that thou mockest, v'ein machlim (without anyone putting thee to shame)?
4For thou hast said, My lekach (doctrine, teaching, belief) is pure, and I am clean in Thine eyes.
5But oh that Eloah would speak, and open His lips against thee,
6And that He would show thee the secrets of chochmah, that tushiyyah (true wisdom) has two sides! Have da'as therefore that Eloah forgetteth much of thy avon.
7Canst thou search out the cheker Eloah (depths of G-d)? Canst thou probe to the tachlis Shaddai (the end, completeness of Almighty)?
8It is like the heights of Shomayim; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; of what canst thou have da'as?
9The measure thereof is longer than ha'aretz, and broader than the yam (sea).
10When Eloah passes by and arrests and convenes for judgment, who then can constrain Him?
11For He has da'as of deceitful men; He seeth wickedness also; will He not then take note of it?
12But before a witless ish can become wise, a colt of a pereh (wild donkey) would be born an adam!
13If thou direct thine lev, and stretch out thine hands to Him,
14If iniquity be in thine yad, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy ohalim.
15For then shalt thou lift up thy face without mum; yea, thou shalt be firm, and shalt not fear,
16Because thou shalt forget thy amal (grief), and remember it as waters that flow by,
17And thine cheled (duration of life) shall be brighter than the tzohorayim (noonday); thou shalt shine forth; thou shalt be as the boker.
18And thou shalt be secure, because now there is tikveh; yea, thou shalt search, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, rabbim (many) shall court thy favor.
20But the eyes of the resha'im faileth, and they shall not escape, and their tikveh shall be as the last gasp of the nefesh.

Job 11
11
Zophar Accuses Job of Iniquity
1Then answered Zophar the Na´amathite, and said,
2Should not the multitude of words be answered?
And should a man full of talk be justified?
3Should thy lies make men hold their peace?
And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
4For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure,
and I am clean in thine eyes.
5But oh that God would speak,
and open his lips against thee;
6and that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom,
that they are double to that which is!#11.6 that they are double to that which is! or How manifold is understanding!
Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
7Canst thou by searching find out God?
Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do?
deeper than hell;#11.8 hell, Hebrew Sheol. what canst thou know?
9The measure thereof is longer than the earth,
and broader than the sea.
10If he cut off, and shut up,
or gather together, then who can hinder him?
11For he knoweth vain men:
he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
12For vain man would be wise,
though man be born like a wild ass's colt.#11.12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt. or Shall an empty man get a mind, or a wild ass's colt be born a man?
13If thou prepare thine heart,
and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14if iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away,
and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot;
yea, thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear:
16because thou shalt forget thy misery,
and remember it as waters that pass away:
17and thine age shall be clearer than the noonday;
thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope;
yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid;
yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
20But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,
and they shall not escape,
and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
