But a stupid man will get understanding when a wild donkey's colt is born a man!

"If you prepare your heart, you will stretch out your hands toward him.

Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and will not fear.

If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents.

You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away.

And your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.

But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last."

And you will feel secure, because there is hope; you will look around and take your rest in security.

You will lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will court your favor.

Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:

It is higher than heaven--what can you do? Deeper than Sheol--what can you know?

and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.

Should your babble silence men, and when you mock, shall no one shame you?

"Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and a man full of talk be judged right?

For you say, 'My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in God's eyes.'

For he knows worthless men; when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?

If he passes through and imprisons and summons the court, who can turn him back?

But oh, that God would speak and open his lips to you,

Its measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.

"Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
