Bible. Job
18:022:024 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as
the stones of the brooks.
18:022:025 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have
plenty of silver.
18:022:026 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and
shalt lift up thy face unto God.
18:022:027 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee,
and thou shalt pay thy vows.
18:022:028 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established
unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
18:022:029 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting
up; and he shall save the humble person.
18:022:030 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is
delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
18:023:001 Then Job answered and said,
18:023:002 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than
my groaning.
18:023:003 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even
to his seat!
18:023:004 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with
arguments.
18:023:005 I would know the words which he would answer me, and
understand what he would say unto me.
18:023:006 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he
would put strength in me.
18:023:007 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be
delivered for ever from my judge.
18:023:008 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I
cannot perceive him:
18:023:009 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him:
he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
18:023:010 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I
shall come forth as gold.
18:023:011 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not
declined.
18:023:012 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I
have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary
food.
18:023:013 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul
desireth, even that he doeth.
18:023:014 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many
such things are with him.
18:023:015 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am
afraid of him.
18:023:016 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
18:023:017 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he
covered the darkness from my face.
18:024:001 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they
that know him not see his days?
18:024:002 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks,
and feed thereof.
18:024:003 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the
widow's ox for a pledge.
