New Testament
Job 11
Round One: Zophar's Speech:
You are so sinful that God has forgotten some of your sin
111Then Zophar the Na'amathite spoke up and responded:
2Doesn't this gush of words call for an answer?
Can this man's bold talk be justified?
3Should your empty words reduce men to silence?
Can you be allowed to scoff without anyone putting you in your place?
4You say, “What I teach is untainted,
and I am pure in your eyes.”
5Oh how I wish that God would speak up,
open his lips against you,
6and show you the secret of wisdom,
because sound judgment must look at both sides.
Then you would know that God has even forgotten some of your guilt!
7Can you explore the essence of God?
Can you find a limit to the perfections of the Almighty?
8They are as high as the heavens. What can you do?
9His dimensions are greater than the earth
and wider than the sea.
10If God comes and arrests someone and puts him on trial,
who can overrule him?
11Certainly he recognizes deceitful men for what they are.
He sees evil, and he recognizes it for what it is.
12Before an empty-headed man gets understanding,
a wild donkey colt will be born as a man.
13But you, if you make your heart steadfast,
and you spread out your hands to him,
14if you put away the sin you are holding in your hand,
and you do not allow injustice to dwell in your tents,
15then you will lift up your face and be blameless.
You will be solid and fearless.
16You will certainly forget your trouble.
Your memory of it will be like water that has flowed away.
17The rest of your life will be brighter than noon.
Darkness will become like morning.
18You will be confident that there is hope.
When you look around, you will go to bed confidently.
19You will lie down, and no one will make you tremble.
Many will seek your favor.
20The eyes of the wicked will fail,
and their place of refuge will disappear.
