YOUNG\'S LITERAL TRANSLATION
11:1 And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: --
11:2 Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified?
11:3 Thy devices make men keep silent, Thou scornest, and none is causing blushing!
11:4 And thou sayest, `Pure `is' my discourse, And clean I have been in Thine eyes.'
11:5 And yet, O that God had spoken! And doth open His lips with thee.
11:6 And declare to thee secrets of wisdom, For counsel hath foldings. And know thou that God forgetteth for thee, `Some' of thine iniquity.
11:7 By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?
11:8 Heights of the heavens! -- what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! -- what knowest thou?
11:9 Longer than earth `is' its measure, And broader than the sea.
11:10 If He pass on, and shut up, and assemble, Who then dost reverse it?
11:11 For he hath known men of vanity, And He seeth iniquity, And one doth not consider `it'!
11:12 And empty man is bold, And the colt of a wild ass man is born.
11:13 If thou -- thou hast prepared thy heart, And hast spread out unto Him thy hands,
11:14 If iniquity `is' in thy hand, put it far off, And let not perverseness dwell in thy tents.
11:15 For then thou liftest up thy face from blemish, And thou hast been firm, and fearest not.
11:16 For thou dost forget misery, As waters passed away thou rememberest.
11:17 And above the noon doth age rise, Thou fliest -- as the morning thou art.
11:18 And thou hast trusted because their is hope, And searched -- in confidence thou liest down,
11:19 And thou hast rested, And none is causing trembling, And many have entreated thy face;
11:20 And the eyes of the wicked are consumed, And refuge hath perished from them, And their hope `is' a breathing out of soul!
