Job 11
Legacy Standard Bible
Zophar Asks, Can You Find the Depths of God?
11 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
2 “Shall a multitude of words go unanswered,
And a (A)man of lips be in the right?
3 Shall your boasts silence men?
And shall you (B)mock and none rebuke?
4 (C)You have said, ‘My learning is pure,
And (D)I am innocent in your eyes.’
5 But would that God might speak,
And open His lips against you,
6 And tell you the secrets of wisdom!
For sound wisdom [a](E)has two sides.
Know then that God [b]forgets a part of (F)your iniquity.
7 “(G)Can you find the depths of God?
Can you find the limits of the Almighty?
8 They are (H)high as [c]the heavens, what can you do?
Deeper than (I)Sheol, what can you know?
9 Its measure is longer than the earth
And broader than the sea.
10 If He sweeps by or shuts up,
Or calls an assembly, (J)who can turn Him around?
11 For (K)He knows worthless men,
And He (L)sees wickedness, [d]so will He not carefully consider it?
12 [e](M)Yet an empty headed man will obtain a heart of wisdom,
And the [f]foal of a (N)wild donkey is born a man.
13 “(O)If you would (P)set your heart right
And (Q)spread out your hand to Him,
14 If wickedness is in your hand, (R)put it far away,
And do not let unrighteousness dwell in your tents;
15 Then, indeed, you could (S)lift up your face without moral defect,
And you would be steadfast and (T)not fear.
16 For you would (U)forget your trouble,
As (V)waters that pass by, so you would remember it.
17 And your lifetime would (W)arise brighter than noonday;
Darkness would be like the morning.
18 Then you would trust, because there is hope;
And you would search around and rest securely.
19 You would (X)lie down and none would make you tremble,
And many would (Y)entreat your [g]favor.
20 But the (Z)eyes of the wicked will come to an end,
And escape will (AA)perish from them;
And their (AB)hope is (AC)the expiring of their soul.”

Zophar Speaks to Job
11 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered:
2 “All these words should not go without an answer.
Is this talker to be judged as right?
3 Your talk should not make people be quiet.
People should shame you when you make fun of God.
4 You say to God, ‘My teachings are right.
And I am clean in God’s sight.’
5 I wish God would speak.
I wish he would open his lips to speak against you.
6 I wish he would tell you the secrets of wisdom.
This is because wisdom has two sides.
Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.
7 “Can you understand the secrets of God?
Can you search the limits of the God All-Powerful?
8 God’s limits are higher than the heavens. You cannot reach them!
They are deeper than where the dead are. You cannot know them!
9 His limits are longer than the earth
and wider than the sea.
10 “God might come along and put you in prison.
If he calls you into court, no one can stop him.
11 God knows which men are evil.
And when he sees evil, he notices it.
12 A stupid person cannot become wise.
That is as impossible as a wild donkey being born tame.
13 “You must give your whole heart to him.
You must hold out your hands to him for help.
14 Put away the sin that is in your hand.
Let no evil live in your tent.
15 Then you can lift up your face without shame.
You can stand strong without fear.
16 You will forget your trouble.
You will remember your troubles only as water that has passed by.
17 Your life will be as bright as the noonday sun.
And darkness will seem like morning.
18 You will feel safe because there is hope.
You will look around and rest in safety.
19 You will lie down, and no one will make you afraid.
Many people will want favor from you.
20 But the wicked people will not be able to see.
So they will not be able to find the way to escape.
Their only hope will be to die.”
Jó 11

Primeira fala de Zofar (Cap. 11)
Deus o está castigando menos do que você merece
11 Então Zofar, da região de Naamá, em resposta disse:
2 “Será que todo esse palavrório vai ficar sem resposta?
Por acaso, quem fala muito é quem tem razão?
3 Jó, você pensa que não temos resposta?
Pensa que as suas zombarias vão nos fazer calar a boca?
4 Você diz que o seu modo de pensar está certo
e afirma que é inocente diante de Deus.
5 Eu gostaria que Deus falasse
e lhe desse uma resposta!
6 Ele lhe ensinaria os segredos da sabedoria,
pois há mistérios na explicação das coisas.
Assim, você veria que Deus o está castigando
menos do que você merece.
Você pode descobrir os segredos de Deus?
7 “Você pensa que pode descobrir os segredos de Deus
e conhecer completamente o Todo-Poderoso?
8 O céu não é limite para Deus,
mas você não pode chegar até lá;
Deus conhece o mundo dos mortos,
mas você não conhece.
9 Ele é maior do que a terra,
mais vasto do que o mar.
10 Se Deus passar e prender alguém
e o levar para ser julgado,
quem o poderá impedir?
11 Deus conhece as pessoas que não valem nada;
ele nunca deixa de ver as suas maldades.
12 No dia em que os jumentos selvagens nascerem mansos,
as pessoas sem juízo vão ter sabedoria.
Abandone o pecado
13 “Jó, vire o coração para Deus
e ore com as mãos estendidas para ele.
14 Abandone o pecado que mancha as suas mãos
e não deixe que a maldade more na sua casa.
15 Então você andará de cabeça erguida,
puro, firme e sem medo.
16 Você não lembrará dos seus sofrimentos,
que serão como águas passadas
que a gente esquece.
17 A sua vida brilhará mais do que o sol do meio-dia,
e as suas horas mais escuras serão claras como o amanhecer.
18 Você viverá seguro e cheio de esperança;
Deus o protegerá, e você dormirá tranquilo.
19 Quando você estiver descansando, nada o assustará;
e muita gente virá lhe pedir ajuda.
20 Porém os maus olharão em redor desesperados
e não acharão lugar para onde fugir;
para eles a morte será a única esperança.”
