Job
40:1-42:17
2 Corinthians 5:11-21
Psalm 45:1-17
Proverbs 22:14
Job 40:1 Moreover the
LORD answered Job, and said,
Job 40:2 Shall he that
contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let
him answer it.
Job 40:3 Then Job
answered the LORD, and said,
Job 40:4 Behold, I am
vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
Job 40:5 Once have I
spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
Job 40:6 Then answered
the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 40:7 Gird up thy
loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Job 40:8 Wilt thou also
disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be
righteous?
Job 40:9 Hast thou an
arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
Job 40:10 Deck thyself
now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and
beauty.
Job 40:11 Cast abroad
the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase
him.
Job 40:12 Look on every
one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked
in their place.
Job 40:13 Hide them in
the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
Job 40:14 Then will I
also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
Job 40:15 Behold now
behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Job 40:16 Lo now, his
strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his
belly.
Job 40:17 He moveth his
tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
Job 40:18 His bones are
as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
Job 40:19 He is
the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto
him.
Job 40:20 Surely the
mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
Job 40:21 He lieth
under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
Job 40:22 The shady
trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him
about.
Job 40:23 Behold, he
drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up
Jordan into his mouth.
Job 40:24 He taketh it
with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
Job 41:1 Canst thou
draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou
lettest down?
Job 41:2 Canst thou put
an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Job 41:3 Will he make
many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
Job 41:4 Will he make a
covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
Job 41:5 Wilt thou play
with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
Job 41:6 Shall the
companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the
merchants?
Job 41:7 Canst thou
fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
Job 41:8 Lay thine hand
upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
Job 41:9 Behold, the
hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of
him?
Job 41:10 None is so
fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
Job 41:11 Who hath
prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole
heaven is mine.
Job 41:12 I will not
conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
Job 41:13 Who can
discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his
double bridle?
Job 41:14 Who can open
the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
Job 41:15 His
scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close
seal.
Job 41:16 One is so
near to another, that no air can come between them.
Job 41:17 They are
joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
Job 41:18 By his
neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the
morning.
Job 41:19 Out of his
mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
Job 41:20 Out of his
nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
Job 41:21 His breath
kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
Job 41:22 In his neck
remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
Job 41:23 The flakes of
his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be
moved.
Job 41:24 His heart is
as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
Job 41:25 When he
raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify
themselves.
Job 41:26 The sword of
him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the
habergeon.
Job 41:27 He esteemeth
iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
Job 41:28 The arrow
cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
Job 41:29 Darts are
counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
Job 41:30 Sharp stones are
under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
Job 41:31 He maketh the
deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
Job 41:32 He maketh a
path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be
hoary.
Job 41:33 Upon earth
there is not his like, who is made without fear.
Job 41:34 He beholdeth
all high things: he is a king over all the children of
pride.
Job 42:1 Then Job
answered the LORD, and said,
Job 42:2 I know that
thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden
from thee.
Job 42:3 Who is
he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I
understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
Job 42:4 Hear, I
beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto
me.
Job 42:5 I have heard
of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
Job 42:6 Wherefore I
abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Job 42:7 And it was so,
that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz
the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends:
for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
Job 42:8 Therefore take
unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer
up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for
him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye
have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant
Job.
Job 42:9 So Eliphaz the
Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did
according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
Job 42:10 And the LORD
turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave
Job twice as much as he had before.
Job 42:11 Then came
there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had
been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and
they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had
brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an
earring of gold.
Job 42:12 So the LORD
blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen
thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a
thousand she asses.
Job 42:13 He had also
seven sons and three daughters.
Job 42:14 And he called
the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name
of the third, Kerenhappuch.
Job 42:15 And in all
the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their
father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
Job 42:16 After this
lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even
four generations.
Job 42:17 So Job died, being
old and full of days.
2Co 5:11 Knowing
therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest
unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
2Co 5:12 For we commend
not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf,
that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and
not in heart.
2Co 5:13 For whether we
be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is
for your cause.
2Co 5:14 For the love
of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all,
then were all dead:
2Co 5:15 And that
he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto
themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
2Co 5:16 Wherefore
henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ
after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if
any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new.
2Co 5:18 And all things
are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath
given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2Co 5:19 To wit, that
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their
trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation.
2Co 5:20 Now then we
are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray
you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2Co 5:21 For he hath
made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him.
Psa 45:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons
of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good
matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is
the pen of a ready writer.
Psa 45:2 Thou art
fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God
hath blessed thee for ever.
Psa 45:3 Gird thy sword
upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy
majesty.
Psa 45:4 And in thy
majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and
righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
Psa 45:5 Thine arrows are
sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under
thee.
Psa 45:6 Thy throne, O
God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right
sceptre.
Psa 45:7 Thou lovest
righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed
thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Psa 45:8 All thy
garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory
palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
Psa 45:9 Kings'
daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand
the queen in gold of Ophir.
Psa 45:10 Hearken, O
daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people,
and thy father's house;
Psa 45:11 So shall the
king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou
him.
Psa 45:12 And the
daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among
the people shall intreat thy favour.
Psa 45:13 The king's
daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought
gold.
Psa 45:14 She shall be
brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that
follow her shall be brought unto thee.
Psa 45:15 With gladness
and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's
palace.
Psa 45:16 Instead of
thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the
earth.
Psa 45:17 I will make
thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise
thee for ever and ever.
Pro 22:14 The mouth of
strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall
therein.
