“ I stand up, and thou regardest me not.21 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.24 Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?26 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. ”
Quotes from The King James Bible — Job ()
“ Chapter 11 1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;6 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. ”
“ I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?5 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand. ”
