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!
