Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 11:1 | And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said: |
| 11:2 | Should not a flood of words be answered? And should a man of lips be justified? |
| 11:3 | Should your lies make men silent? And will you mock, and no one make you ashamed? |
| 11:4 | For you have said, My doctrine is pure; and, I am clean in Your eyes. |
| 11:5 | But who will grant that God would speak and open His lips against you, |
| 11:6 | and would tell you the secrets of wisdom, that counsel is double? Know then that God forgets some of your iniquity for you. |
| 11:7 | Can you find out God by searching? Or can you find out the end of the Almighty? |
| 11:8 | Heights of the heavens! What can you do? It is deeper than Sheol; what can you know? |
| 11:9 | Its measure is longer than the earth, broader than the sea. |
| 11:10 | If He passes through and shuts up, or gathers together, then who can turn Him back? |
| 11:11 | For He knows the vanity of men; and He sees deceit, and will He not consider? |
| 11:12 | For foolish man takes heart, and man is born a wild ass's colt. |
| 11:13 | If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward Him; |
| 11:14 | if iniquity is in your hand, put it far away and do not let wickedness dwell in your tents; |
| 11:15 | surely then you shall lift up your face without blemish; and you will be steadfast, and you will not fear; |
| 11:16 | for you shall forget your misery, and shall remember it as waters that have passed; |
| 11:17 | and your lifetime shall rise more than the noonday; you shall fly; you shall be as the morning. |
| 11:18 | And you shall trust, because there is hope. Yea, you shall look about and you shall lie down in safety. |
| 11:19 | You shall lie down, and no one will be terrifying; yea, many shall seek your favor. |
| 11:20 | But the eyes of the wicked shall be consumed, and escape shall perish from them; and their hope shall be like the breathing out of the soul. |
