View Answer

Answer 10: B — Zophar emphasizes the unsearchable greatness of God and calls Job to repentance as the proper response.
KJV Reference: Job 11:7–8 — “Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?”

Job 11 is not gentle. Zophar speaks with certainty, yet without full knowledge. He magnifies the greatness of God — “Canst thou by searching find out God?” — and calls for repentance. Yet his confidence outruns compassion.This chapter forces us to examine two things: the depth of divine wisdom and the danger of speaking beyond what we know. God is indeed higher than heaven and deeper than hell. His measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea. But man must tremble before speaking for Him.

Let the reader search the heart. Let pride be put far away. Let words be few where knowledge is small.
