And

But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you.

…which the clouds pour out and shower abundantly on mankind.

See how He scatters His lightning around Him and covers the depths of the sea.

For by these He judges the nations and provides food in abundance.

He fills His hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.

“At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place.

Listen closely to the thunder of His voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth.

He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth.

For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the gentle rain, ‘Pour out a mighty downpour.’

The tempest comes from its chamber, and the cold from the driving north winds.

By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen.

Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wonders of God.

The Almighty is beyond our reach; He is exalted in power! In His justice and great righteousness He does not oppress.

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.

…while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

…when I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its blanket,

…when I fixed its boundaries and set in place its bars and doors,

…when I fixed its boundaries and set in place its bars and doors,

…and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop’?

…that it might spread to the ends of the earth and shake the wicked out of it?

Light is withheld from the wicked, and their upraised arm is broken.

Surely you know, for you were already born! And the number of your days is great!

…which I hold in reserve for times of trouble, for the day of war and battle?

…to satisfy the parched wasteland and make it sprout with tender grass?

…when the waters become hard as stone and the surface of the deep is frozen?

Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear and her cubs?

…when the dust hardens into a mass and the clods of earth stick together?

…when they crouch in their dens and lie in wait in the thicket?

They crouch down and bring forth their young; they deliver their newborn.

Their young ones thrive and grow up in the open field; they leave and do not return.

Their young ones thrive and grow up in the open field; they leave and do not return.

I made the wilderness his home and the salt flats his dwelling.

He scorns the tumult of the city and never hears the shouts of a driver.

Can you trust him to bring in your grain and gather it to your threshing floor?

The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but cannot match the pinions and feathers of the stork.

For she leaves her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand.

Yet when she proudly spreads her wings, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he charges into battle.

A quiver rattles at his side, along with a flashing spear and lance.

At the blast of the horn, he snorts with fervor. He catches the scent of battle from afar, the shouts of captains and the cry of war.

Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread his wings toward the south?

Does the eagle soar at your command and make his nest on high?

He dwells on a cliff and lodges there; his stronghold is on a rocky crag.

His young ones feast on blood; and where the slain are, there he is.”

And the LORD said to Job:

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

“Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.

Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.

Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.

Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.

Unleash the fury of your wrath; look on every proud man and bring him low.

Look on every proud man and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.

See the strength of his loins and the power in the muscles of his belly.

If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the battle and never repeat it!

I cannot keep silent about his limbs, his power and graceful form.

They are joined to one another; they clasp and cannot be separated.

His snorting flashes with light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn.

His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour from his mouth.

Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him.

The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.

He regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.

A club is regarded as straw, and he laughs at the sound of the lance.

“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’

You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’

Therefore I despise myself, and I repent in dust and ashes.”

Therefore I despise myself, and I repent in dust and ashes.”

After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.

So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.”

So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer.

So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer.

So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer.

After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions.

All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.

And he also had seven sons and three daughters.

And he also had seven sons and three daughters.

He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.

No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.

After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

And so Job died, old and full of years.

And so Job died, old and full of years.

But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.

But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:

The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:

“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”

Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:

Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.
