Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Job 4
¹⁷ ’Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker?
¹⁸ If He puts no trust in His servants, If He charges His angels with error,
¹⁹ How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before a moth?
²⁰ They are broken in pieces from morning till evening; They perish forever, with no one regarding.
²¹ Does not their own excellence go away? They die, even without wisdom.’
Job 5
¹ "Call out now; Is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
² For wrath kills a foolish man, And envy slays a simple one.
³ I have seen the foolish taking root, But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.
⁴ His sons are far from safety, They are crushed in the gate, And there is no deliverer.
⁵ Because the hungry eat up his harvest, Taking it even from the thorns,
⁶ For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble spring from the ground;
