JOB 13
Job Continues: Still I Will Hope in God13:1 “Behold, my eye has seen all this,my ear has heard and understood it. 2 What you know, I also know;I am not inferior to you. 3 But I would speak to the Almighty,and I desire to argue my case with God. 4 As for you, you whitewash with lies;worthless physicians are you all. 5 Oh that you would keep silent,and it would be your wisdom! 6 Hear now my argumentand listen to the pleadings of my lips. 7 Will you speak falsely for Godand speak deceitfully for him? 8 Will you show partiality toward him?Will you plead the case for God? 9 Will it be well with you when he searches you out?Or can you deceive him, as one deceives a man? 10 He will surely rebuke youif in secret you show partiality. 11 Will not his majesty terrify you,and the dread of him fall upon you? 12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;your defenses are defenses of clay.JOB 14
Job Continues: Death Comes Soon to All14:1 “Man who is born of a womanis few of days and full of trouble. 2 He comes out like a flower and withers;he flees like a shadow and continues not. 3 And do you open your eyes on such a oneand bring me into judgment with you? 4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?There is not one. 5 Since his days are determined,and the number of his months is with you,and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass, 6 look away from him and leave him alone,that he may enjoy, like a hired hand, his day.PROVERBS 12
« Proverbs 11 | Proverbs 12 | Proverbs 13 »
12:1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,but he who hates reproof is stupid. 2 A good man obtains favor from the Lord,but a man of evil devices he condemns. 3 No one is established by wickedness,but the root of the righteous will never be moved. 4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones. 5 The thoughts of the righteous are just;the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. 6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,but the mouth of the upright delivers them. 7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more,but the house of the righteous will stand. 8 A man is commended according to his good sense,but one of twisted mind is despised. 9 Better to be lowly and have a servantthan to play the great man and lack bread. 10 Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast,but the mercy of the wicked is cruel. 11 Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense. 12 Whoever is wicked covets the spoil of evildoers,but the root of the righteous bears fruit. 13 An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,but the righteous escapes from trouble. 14 From the fruit of his mouth a man is satisfied with good,and the work of a man’s hand comes back to him. 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,but a wise man listens to advice. 16 The vexation of a fool is known at once,but the prudent ignores an insult. 17 Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence,but a false witness utters deceit. 18 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,but the tongue of the wise brings healing. 19 Truthful lips endure forever,but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,but those who plan peace have joy. 21 No ill befalls the righteous,but the wicked are filled with trouble. 22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,but those who act faithfully are his delight. 23 A prudent man conceals knowledge,but the heart of fools proclaims folly. 24 The hand of the diligent will rule,while the slothful will be put to forced labor. 25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down,but a good word makes him glad. 26 One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor,but the way of the wicked leads them astray. 27 Whoever is slothful will not roast his game,but the diligent man will get precious wealth. 28 In the path of righteousness is life,and in its pathway there is no death.PSALM 92
