Job 11:2-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
2
'Shall a multitude of words go unanswered,
And a talkative man be acquitted?
3
Shall your boasts silence people?
And will you scoff, and no one rebuke?
4
For you have said, ‘My teaching is pure,
And I am innocent in your eyes.’
5
But if only God would speak,
And open His lips against you,
6
And show you the secrets of wisdom!
For sound wisdom has two sides.
Know then that God forgets part of your guilt.
7
'Can you discover the depths of God?
Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?
8
They are as
high
as
the heavens; what can you do?
Deeper than Sheol; what can you know?
9
Its measurement is longer than the earth
And broader than the sea.
10
If He passes by or apprehends
people,
Or calls an assembly, who can restrain Him?
11
For He knows false people,
And He sees injustice without investigating.
12
An idiot will become intelligent
When a wild donkey is born a human.
King James Version
Chapter 11
2
Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
3
Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
4
For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
5
But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
6
And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
7
Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8
It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
9
The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10
If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
11
For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
12
For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
2
Should this abundance of words go unanswered
and such a talker be acquitted?
3
Should your babbling put others to silence,
so that you can keep on ridiculing
with no one to humiliate you?
4
You have said, "My teaching is sound,
and I am pure in your sight."
5
But if only God would speak
and open his lips against you!
6
He would show you the secrets of wisdom,
for true wisdom has two sides.
Know then that God has chosen to overlook some of your iniquity.
7
Can you fathom the depths of God
or discover the limits of the Almighty?
8
They are higher than the heavens—what can you do?
They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
9
Their measure is longer than the earth
and wider than the sea.
10
If he passes by and throws someone in prison
or convenes a court, who can stop him?
11
Surely he knows which people are worthless.
If he sees iniquity, will he not take note of it?
12
But a stupid person will gain understanding
as soon as a wild donkey is born a human!
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
2
'Shouldn’t someone answer this torrent of words?
Is a person proved innocent just by a lot of talking?
3
Should I remain silent while you babble on?
When you mock God, shouldn’t someone make you ashamed?
4
You claim, ‘My beliefs are pure,’
and ‘I am clean in the sight of God.’
5
If only God would speak;
if only he would tell you what he thinks!
6
If only he would tell you the secrets of wisdom,
for true wisdom is not a simple matter.
Listen! God is doubtless punishing you
far less than you deserve!
7
'Can you solve the mysteries of God?
Can you discover everything about the Almighty?
8
Such knowledge is higher than the heavens —
and who are you?
It is deeper than the underworld —
what do you know?
9
It is broader than the earth
and wider than the sea.
10
If God comes and puts a person in prison
or calls the court to order, who can stop him?
11
For he knows those who are false,
and he takes note of all their sins.
12
An empty-headed person won’t become wise
any more than a wild donkey can bear a human child.
English Standard Version
Chapter 11
2
"Should a multitude of words go unanswered,
and a man full of talk be judged right?
3
Should your babble silence men,
and when you mock, shall no one shame you?
4
For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure,
and I am clean in God 's eyes.’
5
But oh, that God would speak
and open his lips to you,
6
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.
7
"Can you find out the deep things of God?
Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
8
It is higher than heaven — what can you do?
Deeper than Sheol — what can you know?
9
Its measure is longer than the earth
and broader than the sea.
10
If he passes through and imprisons
and summons the court, who can turn him back?
11
For he knows worthless men;
when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?
12
But a stupid man will get understanding
when a wild donkey 's colt is born a man!
New International Version
Chapter 11
2
"Are all these words to go unanswered?
Is this talker to be vindicated?
3
Will your idle talk reduce others to silence?
Will no one rebuke you when you mock?
4
You say to God, ‘My beliefs are flawless
and I am pure in your sight.’
5
Oh, how I wish that God would speak,
that he would open his lips against you
6
and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom,
for true wisdom has two sides.
Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.
7
"Can you fathom the mysteries of God?
Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
8
They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do?
They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know?
9
Their measure is longer than the earth
and wider than the sea.
10
"If he comes along and confines you in prison
and convenes a court, who can oppose him?
11
Surely he recognizes deceivers;
and when he sees evil, does he not take note?
12
But the witless can no more become wise
than a wild donkey’s colt can be born human.
New King James Version
Chapter 11
2
“Should not the multitude of words be answered?
And should a man full of talk be vindicated?
3
Should your empty talk make men hold their peace?
And when you mock, should no one rebuke you?
4
For you have said,
‘My doctrine
is
pure,
And I am clean in your eyes.’
5
But oh, that God would speak,
And open His lips against you,
6
That He would show you the secrets of wisdom!
For
they would
double
your
prudence.
Know therefore that God exacts from you
Less
than your iniquity
deserves.
7
“Can you search out the deep things of God?
Can you find out the limits of the Almighty?
8
They are
higher than heaven— what can you do?
Deeper than Sheol— what can you know?
9
Their measure
is
longer than the earth
And broader than the sea.
10
“If He passes by, imprisons, and gathers
to judgment,
Then who can hinder Him?
11
For He knows deceitful men;
He sees wickedness also.
Will He not then consider
it?
12
For an empty-headed man will be wise,
When a wild donkey’s colt is born a man.
