## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### Zophar’s First Speech to Job
[[#Verse 01.]] Then Zophar the Naamathite spoke up and said:
[[#Verse 02.]] “Should not this abundance of words be answered, or should this talkative man be vindicated?
[[#Verse 03.]] Should people remain silent at your idle talk,
and should no one rebuke you when you mock?
[[#Verse 04.]] For you have said, ‘My teaching is flawless,
and I am pure in your sight.’
[[#Verse 05.]] But if only God would speak,
if only he would open his lips against you,
[[#Verse 06.]] and reveal to you the secrets of wisdom— for true wisdom has two sides— so that you would know that God has forgiven some of your sins.
[[#Verse 07.]] “Can you discover the essence of God? Can you find out the perfection of the Almighty?
[[#Verse 08.]] It is higher than the heavens—what can you do? It is deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
[[#Verse 09.]] Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
[[#Verse 10.]] If he comes by and confines you and convenes a court, then who can prevent him?
[[#Verse 11.]] For he knows deceitful men; when he sees evil, will he not consider it?
[[#Verse 12.]] But an empty man will become wise, when a wild donkey’s colt is born a human being.
[[#Verse 13.]] “As for you, if you prove faithful, and if you stretch out your hands toward him,
[[#Verse 14.]] if iniquity is in your hand—put it far away, and do not let evil reside in your tents.
[[#Verse 15.]] For then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be securely established and will not fear.
[[#Verse 16.]] For you will forget your trouble; you will remember it like water that has flowed away.
[[#Verse 17.]] And life will be brighter than the noonday; though there be darkness, it will be like the morning.
[[#Verse 18.]] And you will be secure, because there is hope; you will be protected and will take your rest in safety.
[[#Verse 19.]] You will lie down with no one to make you afraid, and many will seek your favor.
[[#Verse 20.]] But the eyes of the wicked fail, and escape eludes them; their one hope is to breathe their last.”
