But vain man is void of understanding. Yea, man is born [as] a wild donkey's colt.

If thou set thy heart aright, and stretch out thy hands toward him,

Surely then thou shall lift up thy face without spot. Yea, thou shall be steadfast, and shall not fear.

if iniquity is in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.

For thou shall forget thy misery. Thou shall remember it as waters that are passed away.

And [thy] life shall be clearer than the noonday. Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee. And their hope shall be the giving up of the spirit.

And thou shall be secure, because there is hope. Yea, thou shall search [about thee], and shall take thy rest in safety.

Also thou shall lie down, and none shall make thee afraid. Yea, many shall correspond with thee.

Then Zophar the Naamathite answered, and said,

It is high as heaven; what can thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what can thou know?

and that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacts of thee less than thine iniquity deserves.

Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mock, shall no man make thee ashamed?

Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?

For thou say, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

For he knows FALSE men. He also sees iniquity. Will he not then consider it?

If he passes through, and shuts up, and all to judgment, then who can hinder him?

But O that God would speak, and open his lips against thee,

The measure of it is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

Can thou find out God by searching? Can thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
