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}

If I have withheldH4513 the poorH1800 from their desireH2656, or have caused the eyesH5869 of the widowH490 to failH3615;
Therefore the flightH4498 shall perishH6 from the swiftH7031, and the strongH2389 shall not strengthenH553 his forceH3581, neither shall the mightyH1368 deliverH4422 himselfH5315: {himself: Heb. his soul, or, life}
So are the pathsH734 of all that forgetH7911 GodH410; and the hypocrite'sH2611 hopeH8615 shall perishH6:
I also will doH6213 this unto you; I will even appointH6485 over you terrorH928, consumptionH7829, and the burning agueH6920, that shall consumeH3615 the eyesH5869, and cause sorrowH1727 of heartH5315: and ye shall sowH2232 your seedH2233 in vainH7385, for your enemiesH341 shall eatH398 it. {over: Heb. upon}
As if a manH376 did fleeH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004, and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpentH5175 bitH5391 him.
Whose hopeH3689 shall be cut offH6990, and whose trustH4009 shall be a spider'sH5908 webH1004. {web: Heb. house}
And among theseH1992 nationsH1471 shalt thou find no easeH7280, neither shall the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 have restH4494: but the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 thee there a tremblingH7268 heartH3820, and failingH3631 of eyesH5869, and sorrowH1671 of mindH5315:
Shall not the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 be darknessH2822, and not lightH216? even very darkH651, and no brightnessH5051 in it?
His confidenceH4009 shall be rooted outH5423 of his tabernacleH168, and it shall bringH6805 him to the kingH4428 of terrorsH1091.
I am wearyH3021 of my cryingH7121: my throatH1627 is driedH2787: mine eyesH5869 failH3615 while I waitH3176 for my GodH430.
I sawH7200 the LordH136 standingH5324 upon the altarH4196: and he saidH559, SmiteH5221 the lintel of the doorH3730, that the postsH5592 may shakeH7493: and cutH1214 them in the headH7218, all of them; and I will slayH2026 the lastH319 of them with the swordH2719: he that fleethH5127 of them shall not flee awayH5127, and he that escapethH6412 of them shall not be deliveredH4422. {lintel: or, chapiter, or, knop} {cut…: or, wound them}
Though they digH2864 into hellH7585, thence shall mine handH3027 takeH3947 them; though they climb upH5927 to heavenH8064, thence will I bring them downH3381:
And though they hideH2244 themselves in the topH7218 of CarmelH3760, I will searchH2664 and take them outH3947 thence; and though they be hidH5641 from my sightH5869 in the bottomH7172 of the seaH3220, thence will I commandH6680 the serpentH5175, and he shall biteH5391 them:
For what is the hopeH8615 of the hypocriteH2611, though he hath gainedH1214, when GodH433 taketh awayH7953 his soulH5315?
As for us, our eyesH5869 as yet failedH3615 for our vainH1892 helpH5833: in our watchingH6836 we have watchedH6822 for a nationH1471 that could not saveH3467 us.
HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
The fearH4034 of the wickedH7563, it shall comeH935 upon him: but the desireH8378 of the righteousH6662 shall be grantedH5414.
Whoso cursethH7043 his fatherH1 or his motherH517, his lampH5216 shall be put outH1846 in obscureH380+H380 darknessH2822. {lamp: or, candle}
AndG2532 inG1722 hellG86 he lift upG1869 hisG846 eyesG3788, beingG5225 inG1722 tormentsG931, and seethG3708 AbrahamG11 afarG3113 offG575, andG2532 LazarusG2976 inG1722 hisG846 bosomG2859.
AndG2532+G846 he criedG5455 and saidG2036, FatherG3962 AbrahamG11, have mercyG1653 on meG3165, andG2532 sendG3992 LazarusG2976, thatG2443 he may dipG911 the tipG206 of hisG846 fingerG1147 in waterG5204, andG2532 coolG2711 myG3450 tongueG1100; forG3754 I am tormentedG3600 inG1722 thisG5026 flameG5395.
ButG1161 AbrahamG11 saidG2036, SonG5043, rememberG3415 thatG3754 thouG4771 inG1722 thyG4675 lifetimeG2222 receivedstG618 thyG4675 good thingsG18, andG2532 likewiseG3668 LazarusG2976 evil thingsG2556: butG1161 nowG3568+G3592 he is comfortedG3870, andG1161 thouG4771 art tormentedG3600.
AndG2532 besideG1909 allG3956 thisG5125, betweenG3342 usG2257 andG2532 youG5216 there isG4741 a greatG3173 gulfG5490 fixedG4741: so thatG3704 they which wouldG2309 passG1224 from henceG1782 toG4314 youG5209 cannotG3361+G1410; neitherG3366 can they passG1276 toG4314 usG2248, that would come from thenceG1564.
