God’s Word
For Everyday Life

Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,

“Shouldn’t the multitude of words be answered?

Should your boastings make men hold their peace?

For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure.

But oh that God would speak,

that he would show you the secrets of wisdom!

“Can you fathom the mystery of God?

They are high as heaven. What can you do?

Its measure is longer than the earth,

If he passes by, or confines,

For he knows false men.

An empty-headed man becomes wise

“If you set your heart aright,

If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away.

Surely then you will lift up your face without spot.

for you will forget your misery.

Life will be clearer than the noonday.

You will be secure, because there is hope.

Also you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid.

But the eyes of the wicked will fail.
