(English Standard Version)

切换到福音影视网-新版圣经

  • 1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • 17 And your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
  • 18 And you will feel secure, because there is hope; you will look around and take your rest in security.
  • 19 You will lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will court your favor.
  • 20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last."
