Verse 9 is found in chapter 11 of Job. Zophar describes God’s incomprehensibility and the impossibility of escaping his knowledge. He states that repentance would bring restoration and security. The passage presents a high view of divine transcendence, but again connects Job’s situation with an alleged need for repentance, something the book’s prologue has already called into question.
