Job Chapter 11

1	Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2	Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
3	Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
4	For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
5	But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
6	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.
7	Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8	It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
9	The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10	If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
11	For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
12	For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
13	If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14	If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy atabernacles.
15	For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16	Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
17	And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18	And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19	Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
20	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. Chapter 11 Zophar is wanting God to give Job a piece of his mind , because Zophar believes Jobs foolish words and thinking need correction. Zophar is telling Job, his suffering is nothing, Job deserves way more than what he is currently going through . Zophar then goes on to tell Job his brain couldn't even possible understand the greatest of God if it tried to, Zophar then goes on to share his belief in who are Great God is with such beautiful illustrations of fresh imagery. Then Zophar shares with Job a way to become fresh and new with God and have his sins for given and walk in life with a clean slate before man and GOd. Refelection, Sometimes as friends we all try to give our two cents to our friends. How many times do we think before we speak ? If correction is needed do we go to the person and ask them the questions out of concern and compassion like GOd would ? I know a lot of time we go at people like there on trial , and we want to go and put them in to a corner like Mike tyson and nail them to admit there wrong. Im guilty of that at times. We must learn to stop , think pray and ask GOd what we should say, if we cant encourage with a heart like Christ we should reframe from saying anything at all. Father God let us watch the words we say in speaking with our brothers and sisters, let us use words that would show your light and touch the souls of your people, for we ask this in your precious name amen .
