Job 11:1-6
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.

Zophar Speaks
11 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
2 Should this stream of words(A) go unanswered
and such a talker[a] be acquitted?
3 Should your babbling put others to silence,
so that you can keep on ridiculing
with no one to humiliate you?
4 You have said, “My teaching(B) is sound,
and I am pure in Your sight.”
5 But if only God would speak
and declare His case[b] against you,
6 He would show you the secrets of wisdom,(C)
for true wisdom has two sides.
Know then that God has chosen to overlook some of your sin.(D)
