Then answeredH6030 ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284, and saidH559,
Should not the multitudeH7230 of wordsH1697 be answeredH6030? and should a manH376 full of talkH8193 be justifiedH6663? {full…: Heb. of lips}
Should thy liesH907 makeH2790 menH4962 hold their peaceH2790? and when thou mockestH3932, shall no man make thee ashamedH3637? {lies: or, devices}
For thou hast saidH559, My doctrineH3948 is pureH2134, and I am cleanH1249 in thine eyesH5869.
ButH199 oh thatH5414 GodH433 would speakH1696, and openH6605 his lipsH8193 against thee;
And that he would shewH5046 thee the secretsH8587 of wisdomH2451, that they are doubleH3718 to that which isH8454! KnowH3045 therefore that GodH433 exactethH5382 of thee less than thine iniquityH5771 deserveth.
Canst thou by searchingH2714 find outH4672 GodH433? canst thou findH4672 out the AlmightyH7706 unto perfectionH8503?
It is as highH1363 as heavenH8064; what canst thou doH6466? deeperH6013 than hellH7585; what canst thou knowH3045? {as high…: Heb. the heights of heaven}
The measureH4055 thereof is longerH752 than the earthH776, and broaderH7342 than the seaH3220.
If he cut offH2498, and shut upH5462, or gather togetherH6950, then who can hinderH7725 him? {cut…: or, make a change} {hinder…: Heb. turn him away?}
For he knowethH3045 vainH7723 menH4962: he seethH7200 wickednessH205 also; will he not then considerH995 it?
For vainH5014 manH376 would be wiseH3823, though manH120 be bornH3205 like a wild ass'sH6501 coltH5895. {vain: Heb. empty}
If thou prepareH3559 thine heartH3820, and stretchH6566 out thine handsH3709 toward him;
If iniquityH205 be in thine handH3027, put it far awayH7368, and let not wickednessH5766 dwellH7931 in thy tabernaclesH168.
For then shalt thou lift upH5375 thy faceH6440 without spotH3971; yea, thou shalt be stedfastH3332, and shalt not fearH3372:
Because thou shalt forgetH7911 thy miseryH5999, and rememberH2142 it as watersH4325 that pass awayH5674:
And thine ageH2465 shall be clearerH6965 than the noondayH6672; thou shalt shine forthH5774, thou shalt be as the morningH1242. {be clearer…: Heb. shall arise above the noon-day}
And thou shalt be secureH982, because there isH3426 hopeH8615; yea, thou shalt digH2658 about thee, and thou shalt take thy restH7901 in safetyH983.
Also thou shalt lie downH7257, and none shall make thee afraidH2729; yea, manyH7227 shall make suitH2470 unto theeH6440. {make suit…: Heb. intreat thy face}
But the eyesH5869 of the wickedH7563 shall failH3615, and they shall not escapeH6+H4498, and their hopeH8615 shall be as the giving upH4646 of the ghostH5315. {they shall…: Heb. flight shall perish from them} {the giving…: or, a puff of breath}
Querverweise zu Hiob 11,8 Hiob 11,8
Is not GodH433 in the heightH1363 of heavenH8064? and beholdH7200 the heightH7218 of the starsH3556, how highH7311 they are! {height of the stars: Heb. head of the stars}
LookH5027 unto the heavensH8064, and seeH7200; and beholdH7789 the cloudsH7834 which are higherH1361 than thou.
Such knowledgeH1847 is too wonderfulH6383+H6383 for me; it is highH7682, I cannotH3201 attain unto it.
Whither shall I goH3212 from thy spiritH7307? or whither shall I fleeH1272 from thy presenceH6440?
If I ascend upH5266 into heavenH8064, thou art there: if I make my bedH3331 in hellH7585, behold, thou art there.
But will GodH430 in very deedH552 dwellH3427 with menH120 on the earthH776? behold, heavenH8064 and the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannot containH3557 thee; how much less this houseH1004 which I have builtH1129!
Though they digH2864 into hellH7585, thence shall mine handH3027 takeH3947 them; though they climb upH5927 to heavenH8064, thence will I bring them downH3381:
For as the heavenH8064 is high aboveH1361 the earthH776, so greatH1396 is his mercyH2617 toward them that fearH3373 him. {as…: Heb. according to the height of the heaven}
May be ableG1840 to comprehendG2638 withG4862 allG3956 saintsG40 whatG5101 is the breadthG4114, andG2532 lengthG3372, andG2532 depthG899, andG2532 heightG5311;
Let them praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: for his nameH8034 alone is excellentH7682; his gloryH1935 is above the earthH776 and heavenH8064. {excellent: Heb. exalted}
AndG5037 to knowG1097 the loveG26 of ChristG5547, which passethG5235 knowledgeG1108, thatG2443 ye might be filledG4137 withG1519 allG3956 the fulnessG4138 of GodG2316.
It is the gloryH3519 of GodH430 to concealH5641 a thingH1697: but the honourH3519 of kingsH4428 is to search outH2713 a matterH1697.
