Job Chapter 11 Verse 14If iniquity [be] in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

For thou hast said, My doctrine [is] pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that [they are] double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee [less] than thine iniquity [deserveth].

Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

[It is] as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

The measure thereof [is] longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?

For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider [it]?

For vain man would be wise, though man be born [like] a wild ass's colt.

If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

Because thou shalt forget [thy] misery, [and] remember [it] as waters [that] pass away:

And [thine] age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig [about thee, and] thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make [thee] afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope [shall be as] the giving up of the ghost.

And Job answered and said,

No doubt but ye [are] the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

But I have understanding as well as you; I [am] not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

I am [as] one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright [man is] laughed to scorn.
