Job 11

¹Will no one answer all this nonsense? Does talking so much put you in the right?

³Job, do you think we can't answer you? That your mocking words will leave us speechless?

⁴You claim that what you say is true; you claim you are pure in the sight of God.

⁵How I wish God would answer you!

⁶He would tell you there are many sides to wisdom; there are things too deep for human knowledge. God is punishing you less than you deserve.

⁷Can you discover the limits and bounds of the greatness and power of God?

⁸The sky is no limit for God, but it lies beyond your reach. God knows the world of the dead, but you do not know it.

⁹God's greatness is broader than the earth, wider than the sea.

¹⁰If God arrests you and brings you to trial, who is there to stop him?

¹¹God knows which people are worthless; he sees all their evil deeds.

¹²Stupid people will start being wise when wild donkeys are born tame.

¹³Put your heart right, Job. Reach out to God.

¹⁴Put away evil and wrong from your home.

¹⁵Then face the world again, firm and courageous.

¹⁶Then all your troubles will fade from your memory, like floods that are past and remembered no more.

¹⁷Your life will be brighter than sunshine at noon, and life's darkest hours will shine like the dawn.

¹⁸You will live secure and full of hope; God will protect you and give you rest.

¹⁹You won't be afraid of your enemies; many people will ask you for help.

²⁰But the wicked will look around in despair and find that there is no way to escape. Their one hope is that death will come.
