Then Tsuphar the Na'amati answered and said:

Should a multitude of words not be answered? And should a man of lips be justified?

Your talk, should it make men silent? And when you mock, is there no one to shame you?

For you said, 'My teaching is pure, and I am clean in your eyes.'

But oh, if only Elohim would speak, and open His lips with you!

And He would tell you the secrets of wisdom, for they are twice as much as understanding. And know that Elohim exacts from you less than your iniquity.

Can you find out the deep things of Elohim? Can you find out the limits of Shaddai?

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

Its measure is longer than the earth, and wider than the sea.

If He passes by and imprisons, and gathers, then who can turn Him back?

For He knows the false men; He sees wickedness, and does not consider.

But a man of understanding will gain understanding, while a wild donkey's colt is born a man.

If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands to Him,

If iniquity is in your hand, send it far away, and do not let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.

For then you will lift up your face without blemish, and you will be firm and have no fear.

For you will forget hardship; like water that has passed by, you will remember.

And your life will rise brighter than the midday sun; it will shine like the morning.

And you will trust because there is hope, and you will dig in safety and lie down.

And you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid, and many will seek your favor.

But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will be lost to them, and their hope is a breath of the soul.
