11:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
11:2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
11:3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
11:4 For thou hast said, My doctrine [is] pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
11:5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
11:6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that [they are] double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee [less] than thine iniquity [deserveth].
11:7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
11:8 [It is] as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
11:9 The measure thereof [is] longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
11:10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
11:11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider [it]?
