And undertaking, Sophar the Minean says,
The one many things saying also shall listen in turn; or does the well-spoken imagine himself to be just? Blessed be the one born of woman short-lived.
Not many in words Become; no one for there is the judging you by comparison.
For do not say that, I am pure in works, and blameless before him.
But how ever the lord to speak to you, and open his lips with you;
then he shall announce to you the power of wisdom, that it will be double to the things of yours? And then you shall know that what is worthy to you resulted from the lord whom you have sinned.
Or the trace of the lord will you find? or unto the latter end did you arrive which prepared the almighty?
High heaven, and what will you do? And there are deeper things than in Hades, what do you know?
or longer than the measure of the earth, or the breadth of the sea.
And if he shall eradicate all things, who will say to him, What did you do?
For he knows the works of the lawless; and beholding the things out of place he shall not overlook.
But man otherwise shall be over-confident with words; but a mortal born of a woman is equal to a donkey recluse.
For if you clean established your heart, and turned up and opened your hands to him;
if lawless thing any there is in your hands, to be at a distance cause it! injustice and in your habitation let not lodge!
For thus shall illuminate your face as if water pure; and you shall strip off filth, and in no way shall you be fearful.
And the trouble you shall forget as a wave going by; and you shall not be terrified.
And your vow will be as the morning star; and from midday shall arise to you life.
complying and you shall be, for it is hope to you; and from anxiety and bewilderment shall appear to you peace.
For you shall be tranquil, and there will not be one waging war against you; and turning, many will beseech you.
But deliverance shall leave them, for their hope is destruction; and the eyes of the impious shall melt away.
