New Testament

Job 11:5-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

5. But if only God would speakand declare His case against you,

6. He would show you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides.Know then that God has chosen to overlook some of your sin.

7. Can you fathom the depths of Godor discover the limits of the Almighty?

8. They are higher than the heavens — what can you do?They are deeper than Sheol — what can you know?

9. Their measure is longer than the earthand wider than the sea.

10. If He passes by and throws someone in prisonor convenes a court, who can stop Him?

11. Surely He knows which people are worthless.If He sees iniquity, will He not take note of it?

12. But a stupid man will gain understandingas soon as a wild donkey is born a man!
