Again it happened on the day when the God's sons came to present themselves before the LORD, that Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."
Then his wife said to him, "Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die."
But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job didn't sin with his lips.
Let that day be darkness. Don't let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.
Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
'Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
"But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,
"Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
"Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.
So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man shall perish,
"Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.
"Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?
God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?
"God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
I will tell God, 'Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you,
that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
"Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.
The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their God in their hands.
"With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.
"Surely I would speak to the Almighty. I desire to reason with God.
Will you speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for him?
Will you show partiality to him? Will you contend for God?
This also shall be my salvation, that a godless man shall not come before him.
Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty;
He shall not depart out of darkness. The flame shall dry up his branches. By the breath of God's mouth shall he go away.
For the company of the godless shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made desolate all my company.
God delivers me to the ungodly, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,
that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!
Upright men shall be astonished at this. The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.
Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn't know God."
know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
"Have pity on me, have pity on me, you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me.
Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
After my skin is destroyed, then in my flesh shall I see God,
that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?
He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his belly.
When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God."
Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
They tell God, 'Depart from us, for we don't want to know about your ways.
"How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, that their calamity comes on them, that God distributes sorrows in his anger?
You say, 'God lays up his iniquity for his children.' Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.
"Shall any teach God knowledge, since he judges those who are high?
"Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
"Isn't God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
You say, 'What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
who said to God, 'Depart from us;' and, 'What can the Almighty do for us?'
For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God.
For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me.
From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn't regard the folly.
Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
God gives them security, and they rest in it. His eyes are on their ways.
How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
"As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter.
(For the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?
I will teach you about the hand of God. That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
"This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
"God understands its way, and he knows its place.
"Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
as I was in the ripeness of my days, when the friendship of God was in my tent,
For what is the portion from God above, and the heritage from the Almighty on high?
(let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);
What then shall I do when God rises up? When he visits, what shall I answer him?
For calamity from God is a terror to me. Because his majesty, I can do nothing.
this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges; for I should have denied the God who is above.
Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.
Beware lest you say, 'We have found wisdom, God may refute him, not man;'
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
"Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
then God is gracious to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.'
He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
"Behold, God works all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
For Job has said, 'I am righteous, God has taken away my right:
For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.'
"Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
For he doesn't need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.
that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
"For has any said to God, 'I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God."
"Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's,'
But none says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.
"Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God's behalf.
"Behold, God is mighty, and doesn't despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
"But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don't cry for help when he binds them.
Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
Behold, God is great, and we don't know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.
By the breath of God, ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is frozen.
"Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?
because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.
"Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it."
Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
Put on sackcloth and mourn, you priests! Wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, for the meal offering and the drink offering are withheld from your God's house.
Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders, and all the inhabitants of the land, to the house of the LORD, your God, and cry to the LORD.
Isn't the food cut off before our eyes; joy and gladness from the house of our God?
Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to the LORD, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.
Who knows? He may turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to the LORD, your God.
Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, "Spare your people, the LORD, and don't give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'"
"Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD, your God; for he gives you the former rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain, as before.
You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, and will praise the name of the LORD, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never again be disappointed.
You will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD, your God, and there is no one else; and my people will never again be disappointed.
"So you will know that I am the LORD, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.
This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
But whoever keeps his word, God's love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever.
Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. But we know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Whoever is born of God doesn't commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can't sin, because he is born of God.
In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn't do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn't love his brother.
But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him?
because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Beloved, if our hearts don't condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
and every spirit who doesn't confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn't listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.
He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
By this God's love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
If a man says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn't love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.
He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn't believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.
The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life.
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don't say that he should make a request concerning this.
We know that whoever is born of God doesn't sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn't touch him.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Whoever transgresses and doesn't remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn't have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,
Beloved, don't imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't seen God.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name:
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!"
He said to him, "Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
The same came to him by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."
Jesus answered him, "Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can't see the Kingdom of God."
Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.
One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Most certainly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.
But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves.
How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don't seek the glory that comes from the only God?
Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."
They said therefore to him, "What must we do, that we may work the works of God?"
Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."
For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."
It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.
Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.
We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn't do this.
You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don't hear, because you are not of God."
Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.
So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."
We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don't know where he comes from."
We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."
Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?'
If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be broken),
do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'
But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."
Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God's Son, he who comes into the world."
Jesus said to her, "Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
for they loved men's praise more than God's praise.
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,
When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
"Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
Now we know that you know all things, and don't need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God."
This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."
Jesus said to her, "Don't hold me, for I haven't yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers, and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."
Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.
So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we won't perish."
He said to them, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land."
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish's belly.

The people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands.
Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?"
God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he didn't do it.
He prayed to the LORD, and said, "Please, the LORD, wasn't this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.
the LORD God prepared a vine, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the vine.
But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so that it withered.
It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?" He said, "I am right to be angry, even to death."
Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid, neither be dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
"Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, 'Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.'"
"Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, 'the LORD your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.
until the LORD has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.'"
Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.
