New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 10
22 It is a land as dark as midnight, a land of gloom and confusion, where even the light is dark as midnight.’”
Job 11
1 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied to Job:
2 “Shouldn’t someone answer this torrent of words? Is a person proved innocent just by a lot of talking?
3 Should I remain silent while you babble on? When you mock God, shouldn’t someone make you ashamed?
4 You claim, ‘My beliefs are pure,’ and ‘I am clean in the sight of God.’
5 If only God would speak; if only he would tell you what he thinks!
6 If only he would tell you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom is not a simple matter. Listen! God is doubtless punishing you far less than you deserve!
7 “Can you solve the mysteries of God? Can you discover everything about the Almighty?
8 Such knowledge is higher than the heavens— and who are you? It is deeper than the underworld— what do you know?
9 It is broader than the earth and wider than the sea.
10 If God comes and puts a person in prison or calls the court to order, who can stop him?
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
