Job 11:4-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
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.
13
'If you would direct your heart
rightly
And spread out your hands to Him,
14
If wrongdoing is in your hand, put it far away,
And do not let malice dwell in your tents;
15
Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without
moral
blemish,
And you would be firmly established and not fear.
16
For you would forget
your
trouble;
Like waters that have passed by, you would remember
it.
King James Version
Chapter 11
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.
13
If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14
If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15
For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16
Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
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!
13
As for you, if you redirect your heart
and spread out your hands to him in prayer—
14
if there is iniquity in your hand, remove it,
and don’t allow injustice to dwell in your tents—
15
then you will hold your head high, free from fault.
You will be firmly established and unafraid.
16
For you will forget your suffering,
recalling it only as water that has flowed by.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
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.
13
'If only you would prepare your heart
and lift up your hands to him in prayer!
14
Get rid of your sins,
and leave all iniquity behind you.
15
Then your face will brighten with innocence.
You will be strong and free of fear.
16
You will forget your misery;
it will be like water flowing away.
English Standard Version
Chapter 11
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!
13
"If you prepare your heart,
you will stretch out your hands toward him.
14
If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
and let not injustice dwell in your tents.
15
Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish;
you will be secure and will not fear.
16
You will forget your misery;
you will remember it as waters that have passed away.
New International Version
Chapter 11
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.
13
"Yet if you devote your heart to him
and stretch out your hands to him,
14
if you put away the sin that is in your hand
and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
15
then, free of fault, you will lift up your face;
you will stand firm and without fear.
16
You will surely forget your trouble,
recalling it only as waters gone by.
New King James Version
Chapter 11
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.
13
“If you would prepare your heart,
And stretch out your hands toward Him;
14
If iniquity
were
in your hand,
and you
put it far away,
And would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
15
Then surely you could lift up your face without spot;
Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;
16
Because you would forget
your
misery,
And remember
it
as waters
that have
passed away,
