Whenever I saw those who plowed wickedness and planted misery, they gathered its harvest. God destroys them with his breath and kills them with a blast of his anger. Job 4:8-9 GW
“You see, God doesn’t trust his own servants, and he accuses his angels of making mistakes. How much more will he accuse those who live in clay houses that have their foundation in the dust. Those houses can be crushed quicker than a moth! Job 4:18-19 GW
Certainly, sorrow doesn’t come from the soil, and trouble doesn’t sprout from the ground. But a person is born for trouble as surely as sparks fly up ⌞from a fire⌟. Job 5:6-7 GW
“But I would seek God’s help and present my case to him. He does great things that ⌞we⌟ cannot understand and miracles that ⌞we⌟ cannot count. Job 5:8-9 GW
“Blessed is the person whom God corrects. That person should not despise discipline from the Almighty. God injures, but he bandages. He beats you up, but his hands make you well. He will keep you safe from six troubles, and when the seventh one comes, no harm will touch you: “In famine he will save you from death, and in war he will save you from the sword. “When the tongue lashes out, you will be safe, and you will not be afraid of destruction when it comes. “You will be able to laugh at destruction and starvation, so do not be afraid of wild animals on the earth. “You will have a binding agreement with the stones in the field, and wild animals will be at peace with you. “You will know peace in your tent. You will inspect your house and find nothing missing. “You will find that your children are many and your descendants are like the grass of the earth. “You will come to your grave at a ripe old age like a stack of hay in the right season. “We have studied all of this thoroughly! This is the way it is. Listen to it, and learn it for yourself.” Job 5:17-27 GW
Teach me, and I’ll be silent. Show me where I’ve been wrong. How painful an honest discussion can be! In correcting me, you correct yourselves! Job 6:24-25 GW
As a cloud fades away and disappears, so a person goes into the grave and doesn’t come back again. He doesn’t come back home again, and his household doesn’t recognize him anymore. Job 7:9-10 GW
“What is a mortal that you should make so much of him, that you should be concerned about him? ⌞What is he⌟ that you should inspect him every morning and examine him every moment? Job 7:17-18 GW
Give thanks to the only one who does miraculous things— because his mercy endures forever. to the one who made the heavens by his understanding— because his mercy endures forever. Psalms 136:4-5 GW
When someone stumbled, you lifted him up with your words. When knees were weak, you gave them strength.
