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}

And thou sayestH559, How doth GodH410 knowH3045? can he judgeH8199 through the dark cloudH6205? {How: or, What}
The heartH3820 is deceitfulH6121 above all things, and desperately wickedH605: who can knowH3045 it?
Thick cloudsH5645 are a coveringH5643 to him, that he seethH7200 not; and he walkethH1980 in the circuitH2329 of heavenH8064.
I the LORDH3068 searchH2713 the heartH3820, I tryH974 the reinsH3629, even to giveH5414 every manH376 according to his waysH1870, and according to the fruitH6529 of his doingsH4611.
He hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, GodH410 hath forgottenH7911: he hidethH5641 his faceH6440; he will neverH5331 seeH7200 it.
ButG1161 JesusG2424+G846 didG4100 notG3756 commitG4100 himselfG1438 unto themG846, becauseG1223 heG846 knewG1097 allG3956 men,
Thou hast seenH7200 it; for thou beholdestH5027 mischiefH5999 and spiteH3708, to requiteH5414 it with thy handH3027: the poorH2489 committethH5800 himself unto thee; thou art the helperH5826 of the fatherlessH3490. {committeth: Heb. leaveth}
AndG2532+G3754 neededG5532+G2192 notG3756 thatG2443 anyG5100 should testifyG3140 ofG4012 manG444: forG1063 heG846 knewG1097 whatG5101 wasG2258 inG1722 manG444.
NeitherG2532+G3756 is thereG2076 any creatureG2937 that is not manifestG852 in hisG846 sightG1799: butG1161 all thingsG3956 are nakedG1131 andG2532 openedG5136 unto the eyesG3788 of himG846 withG4314 whomG3739 we haveG2254 to doG3056.
If thou seestH7200 the oppressionH6233 of the poorH7326, and violentH1499 perverting of judgmentH4941 and justiceH6664 in a provinceH4082, marvelH8539 not at the matterH2656: for he that is higherH1364 than the highestH1364 regardethH8104; and there be higherH1364 than theyH5921. {at the…: Heb. at the will, or, purpose}
AndG2532 I will killG615 herG846 childrenG5043 withG1722 deathG2288; andG2532 allG3956 the churchesG1577 shall knowG1097 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 he whichG3588 searchethG2045 the reinsG3510 andG2532 heartsG2588: andG2532 I will giveG1325 unto every oneG1538 of youG5213 according toG2596 yourG5216 worksG2041.
And they considerH559 not in their heartsH3824 that I rememberH2142 all their wickednessH7451: now their own doingsH4611 have beset them aboutH5437; they are before my faceH6440. {consider…: Heb. say not to}
Thou art of purerH2889 eyesH5869 than to beholdH7200 evilH7451, and canstH3201 not lookH5027 on iniquityH5999: wherefore lookestH5027 thou upon them that deal treacherouslyH898, and holdest thy tongueH2790 when the wickedH7563 devourethH1104 the man that is more righteousH6662 than he? {iniquity: or, grievance}
