 1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

 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.*

 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:

 17 And *thine* age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.*

 18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig *about thee, and* thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

 19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make *thee* afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.*

 20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope *shall be as* the giving up of the ghost.**

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, 

*Then answered* — How hard is it, to preserve calmness, in the heat of disputation! Eliphaz began modestly: Bildad was a little rougher: But Zophar falls upon Job without mercy. "Those that have a mind to fall out with their brethren, and to fall foul upon them, find it necessary, to put the worst colours they can upon them and their performances, and right or wrong to make them odious."
