Job 11:6

Read in context

Job 11:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 You have said, ‘My doctrine is sound, and I am pure in Your sight.’

5 But if only God would speak and open His lips against you,

6 and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know then that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves.

7 Can you fathom the deep things of God or discover the limits of the Almighty?

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