Job 11:1-6
11Then Zophar the Naamathite spoke up and said:
2“Should not this abundance of words be answered, or should this talkative man be vindicated?
3Will your idle talk reduce people to silence, and will no one rebuke you when you mock?
4For you have said, ‘My teaching is flawless, and I am pure in your sight.’
5But if only God would speak, if only he would open his lips against you,
6and 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.
Notes
- 1. Job 11:1 Zophar begins with a strong rebuke of Job with a wish that God would speak (2-6); he then reflects for a few verses on the unsearchable wisdom of God (7-12); and finally, he advises Job that the way to restoration is repentance (13-20). ↩
