Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Job 11
¹⁵ Then surely you could lift up your face without spot; Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;
¹⁶ Because you would forget your misery, And remember it as waters that have passed away,
¹⁷ And your life would be brighter than noonday. Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.
¹⁸ And you would be secure, because there is hope; Yes, you would dig around you, and take your rest in safety.
¹⁹ You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid; Yes, many would court your favor.
²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they shall not escape, And their hope--loss of life!"
Job 12
¹ Then Job answered and said:
² "No doubt you are the people, And wisdom will die with you!
³ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Indeed, who does not know such things as these?
⁴ "I am one mocked by his friends, Who called on God, and He answered him, The just and blameless who is ridiculed.
⁵ A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease; It is made ready for those whose feet slip.
