Job 11:5-11
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 11

5But if only God would speak, And open His lips against you, 6And show you the secrets of wisdom! For sound wisdom has two sides. Know then that God forgets part of your guilt. 7'Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty? 8 They are as high as the heavens; what can you do? Deeper than Sheol; what can you know? 9Its measurement is longer than the earth And broader than the sea. 10If He passes by or apprehends people, Or calls an assembly, who can restrain Him? 11For He knows false people, And He sees injustice without investigating.
King James Version

Chapter 11

5But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
6And 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.
7Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
9The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
11For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 11

5But if only God would speak and open his lips against you!
6He would show you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know then that God has chosen to overlook some of your iniquity. 7Can you fathom the depths of God or discover the limits of the Almighty? 8They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
9Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea. 10If he passes by and throws someone in prison or convenes a court, who can stop him? 11Surely he knows which people are worthless. If he sees iniquity, will he not take note of it?
New Living Translation

Chapter 11

5If only God would speak; if only he would tell you what he thinks! 6If only he would tell you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom is not a simple matter. Listen! God is doubtless punishing you far less than you deserve!
7'Can you solve the mysteries of God? Can you discover everything about the Almighty? 8Such knowledge is higher than the heavens — and who are you? It is deeper than the underworld — what do you know? 9It is broader than the earth and wider than the sea. 10If God comes and puts a person in prison or calls the court to order, who can stop him? 11For he knows those who are false, and he takes note of all their sins.
English Standard Version

Chapter 11

5But oh, that God would speak and open his lips to you, 6and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves. 7 "Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty? 8It is higher than heaven — what can you do? Deeper than Sheol — what can you know? 9Its measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea. 10If he passes through and imprisons and summons the court, who can turn him back? 11For he knows worthless men; when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?
New International Version

Chapter 11

5Oh, how I wish that God would speak, that he would open his lips against you
6and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin. 7"Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? 8They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know?
9Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea. 10"If he comes along and confines you in prison and convenes a court, who can oppose him? 11Surely he recognizes deceivers; and when he sees evil, does he not take note?
New King James Version

Chapter 11

5But oh, that God would speak, And open His lips against you, 6That He would show you the secrets of wisdom! For they would double your prudence. Know therefore that God exacts from you Less than your iniquity deserves. 7“Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty? 8 They are higher than heaven— what can you do? Deeper than Sheol— what can you know? 9Their measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea. 10“If He passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment, Then who can hinder Him? 11For He knows deceitful men; He sees wickedness also. Will He not then consider it?
