Bible. Job
18:025:003 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his
light arise?
18:025:004 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean
that is born of a woman?
18:025:005 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars
are not pure in his sight.
18:025:006 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which
is a worm?
18:026:001 But Job answered and said,
18:026:002 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest
thou the arm that hath no strength?
18:026:003 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast
thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
18:026:004 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from
thee?
18:026:005 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the
inhabitants thereof.
18:026:006 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
18:026:007 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth
the earth upon nothing.
18:026:008 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is
not rent under them.
18:026:009 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his
cloud upon it.
18:026:010 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and
night come to an end.
18:026:011 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his
reproof.
18:026:012 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding
he smiteth through the proud.
18:026:013 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath
formed the crooked serpent.
18:026:014 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is
heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
18:027:001 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
18:027:002 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the
Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
18:027:003 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in
my nostrils;
18:027:004 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter
deceit.
18:027:005 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not
remove mine integrity from me.
18:027:006 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart
shall not reproach me so long as I live.
18:027:007 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against
me as the unrighteous.
18:027:008 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained,
when God taketh away his soul?
18:027:009 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
18:027:010 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call
upon God?
18:027:011 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the
Almighty will I not conceal.
