Bible. Job
18:011:005 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
18:011:006 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they
are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth
of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
18:011:007 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the
Almighty unto perfection?
18:011:008 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell;
what canst thou know?
18:011:009 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than
the sea.
18:011:010 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can
hinder him?
18:011:011 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not
then consider it?
18:011:012 For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild
ass's colt.
18:011:013 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands
toward him;
18:011:014 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not
wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
18:011:015 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou
shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
18:011:016 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as
waters that pass away:
18:011:017 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt
shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18:011:018 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou
shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
18:011:019 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid;
yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
18:011:020 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not
escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
18:012:001 And Job answered and said,
18:012:002 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
18:012:003 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to
you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
18:012:004 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and
he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
18:012:005 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised
in the thought of him that is at ease.
18:012:006 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God
are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
18:012:007 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the
fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
18:012:008 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes
of the sea shall declare unto thee.
18:012:009 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath
wrought this?
18:012:010 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the
breath of all mankind.
