True wisdom is not a simple matter

Job 11:1-20
For true wisdom has two sides. Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.
A witless愚笨 man can no more become wise than a wild donkey's colt can be born a man.(or wild donkey can be born tame馴服)
Zophar the Naamathite said "If you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him, you will lift up you face without shame; you will stand firm and without fear." So he thought Job was sinned against the Lord.
Zophar's word are harshest of all. He has no patience with Job's irreverent talk. Does Job think himself innocent? God is letting him down lightly. Job must put away his sin; then God will restore him.
Why?
Everything is black and white to Zophar. He doesn't doubt that his position is right. Yet hits the mark when he asks 'Can you fathom捉摸 the mystery of God?' for it is in these terms that God will answer Job and Job will be satisfied.
For true wisdom has two sides;for true wisdom is not a simple matter(NLT). For he is manifold in understanding(ESV).that they are double to that which is!(KJB)
How?
True wisdom is not a simple matter! God knows what we are suffering. His love endure forever.
