Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 2 Dominion and fear are with Him, He makes peace in His high places. 3 Is there any number of His armies? and upon whom does not His light arise? 4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? 5 Behold even to the moon, and it shines not; yea, the stars are not pure in His sight. 6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
But Job answered and said, 2 How have thou helped him that is without power? how save thou the arm that has no strength? 3 How have thou counselled him that has no wisdom? and how have thou plentifully declared the thing as it is? 4 To whom have thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. 6 Hell is naked before Him, and destruction has no covering. 7 He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing. 8 He binds up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. 9 He holds back the face of His throne, and spreads His cloud upon it. 10 He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. 11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His reproof. 12 He divides the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smites through the proud. 13 By His spirit He has garnished the heavens; His hand has formed the crooked serpent. 14 Lo, these are parts of His ways: but how little a portion is heard of Him? but the thunder of His power who can understand?
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, 2 As God lives, who has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul; 3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; 4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. 5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. 6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that rises up against me as the unrighteous. 8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though He has gained, when God takes away his soul? 9 Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him? 10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God? 11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. 12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain? 13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. 14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. 15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep. 16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; 17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. 18 He builds his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper makes. 19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he opens his eyes, and he is not. 20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest steals him away in the night. 21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs: and as a storm hurls him out of his place. 22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of His hand. 23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it. 2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone. 3 He sets an end to darkness, and searches out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. 4 The flood breaks out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men. 5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire. 6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it has dust of gold. 7 There is a path which no fowl knows, and which the vulture’s eye has not seen: 8 The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. 9 He puts forth His hand upon the rock; He overturns the mountains by the roots. 10 He cuts out rivers among the rocks; and His eye sees every precious thing. 11 He binds the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid brings He forth to light.
12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? 13 Man knows not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. 14 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me. 15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. 16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. 17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. 18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. 19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. 20 Where then comes wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? 21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. 22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. 23 God understands the way thereof, and He knows the place thereof. 24 For He looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole heaven; 25 To make the weight for the winds; and He weighs the waters by measure. 26 When He made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: 27 Then did He see it, and declare it; He prepared it, yea, and searched it out. 28 And unto man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
We are united by the spirit of God, Jesus Christ. Our God never fails, He will never leave or forsake us.
