Job 11:8-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
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. 12 An idiot will become intelligent When a wild donkey is born a human. 13'If you would direct your heart rightly And spread out your hands to Him, 14If wrongdoing is in your hand, put it far away, And do not let malice dwell in your tents; 15Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without moral blemish, And you would be firmly established and not fear.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
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?
12But a stupid person will gain understanding as soon as a wild donkey is born a human!
13As for you, if you redirect your heart and spread out your hands to him in prayer—
14if there is iniquity in your hand, remove it, and don’t allow injustice to dwell in your tents—
15then you will hold your head high, free from fault. You will be firmly established and unafraid.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
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. 12An empty-headed person won’t become wise any more than a wild donkey can bear a human child.English Standard Version
Chapter 11
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? 12But a stupid man will get understanding when a wild donkey 's colt is born a man! 13"If you prepare your heart, you will stretch out your hands toward him. 14If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents. 15Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and will not fear.New International Version
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?
12But the witless can no more become wise than a wild donkey’s colt can be born human.
13"Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him,
14if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
15then, free of fault, you will lift up your face; you will stand firm and without fear.
New King James Version
