Job Chapter 11 KJV
King James Version, Holy Bible
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
6 And 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.
Job Chapter 11 (Old Testament)
7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
12 For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
Job Chapter 11 (Old Testament)
13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
17 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
JOB CHAPTER 11: Put it Far Away.
Memory Verse: Job 11:14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
The effects of sin on one's life can be so disastrous. First of all, it might ruin our relationship with God. Because God is holy and cannot tolerate sin, sin separates us from Him. As a result, we could feel far from God, lack spiritual vigor, and struggle with our faith.
Furthermore, sin can result in guilt, shame, and regret. We could feel the consequences of our wrongdoing, which could lead to discomfort on the emotional and mental levels. It may also have an impact on how we interact with others, resulting in disagreements and strained relationships.
This verse is a call to righteousness and repentance. It gives us advice on how to live a life of integrity and purge ourselves of all wrongdoing. "Iniquity in your hand" alludes to the idea that sin is something we may grasp onto like a tool or weapon. However, the verse instructs us to put it "far away," denoting a conscious and intentional effort to keep sin at a distance from ourselves. This is a reminder to continually examine our hearts and actions and strive for holiness in all that we do. (James 4:4, 1 John 3:8)
