1And Tsuphar the Namthite answered and said: 2“Do not answer with a multitude of words, also no man speaking is justified with his answer 3Behold, at your words the dead may be silent; you speak and there is none who restrains you, and if you mock, there is none who rebukes you 4And you said that you have been led righteously and you have been pure in the eyes of your soul 5However the Maker, the Giver, is God the Word, and his lips are lifted up with you. 6And he was showing you the secrets of wisdom, because there are inner chambers to wisdom, and you have known that God has forgiven you your sins 7Can you know the declaration of God, or can you stand at the uttermost limit of The Almighty? 8Do you know the high place of Heaven or the depth of Sheol? From where do you know? 9Its measure is longer than the Earth and it is broader than the sea 10If he will pass by, he shall seize and he shall gather; who turns him? 11For he knows when time came to be, and he sees evil and he considers 12And a man who is pure is encouraged, and he who is mighty helps a man 13If you have prepared your heart and you have stretched forth your hands to him 14If there was evil in your hands, he was removing it far away, and evil did not camp in your tent 15And then you will lift your hands and you will not be afraid of sorrow 16And then you shall forget your misery, and like running water you shall be led away 17And at noon the grave shall rise up, and thick darkness will be like the dawn 18And you will trust that there is hope and you will sleep and you will be rested 19And there is none who rouses you up. Many will seek your face 20And the eyes of the wicked will be darkened and their strength will be destroyed from them, and the hope of their souls The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
