What

So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!”

…and as they drank their wine on that second day, the king asked once more, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”

…and as they drank their wine on that second day, the king asked once more, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”

…who said to Queen Esther, “In the citadel of Susa the Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men, including Haman’s ten sons. What have they done in the rest of the royal provinces? Now what is your petition? It will be given to you. And what further do you request? It will be fulfilled.”

“You speak as a foolish woman speaks,” he told her. “Should we accept from God only good and not adversity?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.

And this is what he said:

For the thing I feared has overtaken me, and what I dreaded has befallen me.

What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What is my future, that I should be patient?

What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What is my future, that I should be patient?

How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?

What is man that You should exalt him, that You should set Your heart upon him,

If I have sinned, what have I done to You, O watcher of mankind? Why have You made me Your target, so that I am a burden to You?

Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right?

If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’

They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?

They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?

What He tears down cannot be rebuilt; the man He imprisons cannot be released.

What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.

Be silent, and I will speak. Then let come to me what may.

What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?

What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?

What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?

Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,

…what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers,

Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?

Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. A fire unfanned will consume him and devour what is left in his tent.

Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him, and what would we gain if we pray to Him?’

For what does he care about his household after him, when the number of his months has run out?

Who denounces his behavior to his face? Who repays him for what he has done?

Yet you say: ‘What does God know? Does He judge through thick darkness?

They said to God, ‘Depart from us. What can the Almighty do to us?’

I would learn how He would answer, and consider what He would say.

But He is unchangeable, and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires.

For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

…what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.

He stops up the sources of the streams to bring what is hidden to light.

What use to me was the strength of their hands, since their vigor had left them?

For what is the allotment of God from above, or the heritage from the Almighty on high?

…then may another eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.

…what will I do when God rises to judge? How will I answer when called to account?

So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.

Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’

I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.

My words are from an upright heart, and my lips speak sincerely what I know.

Yet if there is a messenger on his side, one mediator in a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,

Then he sings before men with these words: ‘I have sinned and perverted what was right; yet I did not get what I deserved.

Then he sings before men with these words: ‘I have sinned and perverted what was right; yet I did not get what I deserved.

Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.

Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.

What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?

Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’

Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed Him? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.

For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’

For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’

If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?

If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?

If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand?

If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand?

Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness.

On what were its foundations set, or who laid its cornerstone,

…what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.

He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.

One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

Repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil. Repay them for what their hands have done; bring back on them what they deserve.

Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.

“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?

Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”

And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.

I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.

You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor. Selah

To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?

Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.

In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

…in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

See what they spew from their mouths—sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”

Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.

Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?

They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.

So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.

I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.

The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

Remember the briefness of my lifespan! For what futility You have created all men!

What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

The LORD is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what the LORD has done.

You are good, and You do what is good; teach me Your statutes.

I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors.

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

O LORD, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him?

But the way of the wicked is like the darkest gloom; they do not know what makes them stumble.

What the wicked man dreads will overtake him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.

One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.
