New American Standard Bible
Zophar Rebukes Job
1Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,
2Shall a multitude of words go unanswered,
3Shall your boasts silence men?
4For you have said, My teaching is pure,
5But would that God might speak,
6And show you the secrets of wisdom!
7Can you discover the depths of God?
8They are high as the heavens, what can you do?
9Its measure is longer than the earth
10If He passes by or shuts up,
11For He knows false men,
12An idiot will become intelligent
13If you would direct your heart right
14If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
15Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without moral defect,
16For you would forget your trouble,
17Your life would be brighter than noonday;
18Then you would trust, because there is hope;
19You would lie down and none would disturb you,
20But the eyes of the wicked will fail,
