god

Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.

Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?

That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?

For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.

God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.

My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!

Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.

Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.

God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.

Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.

Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:

Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?

I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.

Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;

As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;

For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.

What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Behold, I am according to thy wish in God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.

Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?

But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God’s behalf.

Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?

Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
