Job 11:1
Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said:

Job 11:2
Shall not he that speaketh much, hear also? or shall a man full of talk be justified?

Job 11:3
Shall men hold their peace to thee only? and when thou hast mocked others, shall no man confute thee?

Job 11:4
For thou hast said: My word is pure, and I am clean in thy sight.

Job 11:5
And I wish that God would speak with thee, and would open his lips to thee,

Job 11:6
That he might shew thee the secrets of wisdom, and that his law is manifold, and thou mightest understand that he exacteth much less of thee, than thy iniquity deserveth.

Job 11:7
Peradventure thou wilt comprehend the steps of God, and wilt find out the Almighty perfectly?

If he shall overturn all things, or shall press them together, who shall contradict him?

Job 11:16
Thou shalt also forget misery, and remember it only as waters that are passed away.

And brightness like that of the noonday, shall arise to thee at evening: and when thou shalt think thyself consumed, thou shalt rise as the day star.

Job 11:18
And thou shalt have confidence, hope being set before thee, and being buried thou shalt sleep secure.

Thou shalt rest, and there shall be none to make thee afraid: and many shall entreat thy face.

But the eyes of the wicked shall decay, and the way to escape shall fail them, and their hope the abomination of the soul.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe
