"Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
"With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.
In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
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.
"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?
It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts." Job did so continually.
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.
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?
Now it happened on the day when God's sons came to present themselves before the LORD, that Satan also came among them.
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!
But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made desolate all my company.
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."
Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn't know God."
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?
"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,
know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
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."
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.
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.
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?
Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
"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?'
"Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God.
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."
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.
Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?
