Job 11 · Grade 3
Can You Fathom God?
Read the Story
Zophar the Naamathite spoke third. He said Job talked too much. He said Job claimed to be clean. Zophar wished God would speak against Job.
Zophar asked, Can you fathom the mystery of God? He said God's ways are high as heaven and deeper than Sheol. They are longer than the earth and broader than the sea. This is true about God.
Zophar told Job to set his heart aright and stretch out his hands toward God. He said to put iniquity far away. Then life would be clearer than the noonday. But Zophar wrongly thought Job was hiding sin. God later said the friends had not spoken what was right.
