Job 11
First submission of a friend, Zophar
1 Zophar the Naamathite, answered and said:
2 Can a man be justified? how will my lip respond in abundance to this matter?
3 who will mock an adult while he devises/imagines his fabrics in silence? Who will hurt/insult him?
4 if you have said things out from received (lessons), and it is clean/pure to all eyes, -
5 - even if those things are given by the Extremely Mighty One (Eloahh eloah); you can (as well) widely open your lips and rehearsed them on the contrary.
6 I know that the Extremely Mighty God (Eloah eloah) can neglect iniquities; but what a wisdom to boldly declare such enigma/mysterious-thing and duplication of resourcefulness (to substantiate it)!
7 If you can find out things about the overpowering one (shadday); can you research on the Extremely Mighty God (Eloahh eloahh) and found out HIS ultimate goal?
8 WHO created things in the lofty height of the sky? Who knows the depth of the sheol/hades?
9 what in extent/measure is as long as the earth and as large/broad as the sea,
10 HE assembled and shut things up together, and if things change, HE can restore them.
11 Adult should know that seeing HIM is unto self-destruct and understanding HIM is exerting oneself in vain.
12 just as young ass/colt is from wild-ass (onager); HE hollowed/pierced part of Adam and enclosed it with fat (so that) another man can be born.
13 if they spread their palm unto HIM, HE will establish their hearts.
14 if they dwell in their tents, they will put their hands far away from rising-perversity and from those things by which they exert themselves in vain.
15 - and even from lifting up of their faces to a molten/casted things and to revere things to stain themselves;
16 If they remember how they cross over waters (reed sea and Jordan) they will mislay toiling;
17 then, they will rise up at dawn and glide through (mortal) life, as though, noonday flies.
18 they will be confident to explore things and there will exist a hope of lying down in a place of safety:
19 when things (like animals) that crouch will be frightened and be feeble in their presence,
20 the hope of all souls is to escape perishing in the eyes of the wicked as things come to an end and they give up ghosts.
