“Call now; is there any who will answer you? Job 15:15Job 15:8-10Job 4:18Isa 41:21-23Eph 1:1Heb 12:1Isa 41:1Deu 33:2-3
To which of the holy ones will you turn?
For resentment kills the foolish man, Ecc 7:91Sa 18:8-9Gen 30:1Hos 7:11Job 18:4Pro 12:16Psa 107:17Psa 14:1
and jealousy kills the simple.
I have seen the foolish taking root, Psa 73:18-20Psa 92:7Act 1:20Deu 27:15-26Jer 12:1-3Job 24:18Job 27:8Psa 37:35-36
but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
His children are far from safety. Psa 127:5Job 18:16-19Psa 119:155Amo 5:12Exo 20:5Job 1:19Job 10:7Job 27:14
They are crushed in the gate.
Neither is there any to deliver them,
whose harvest the hungry eat up, Lam 2:16Hos 8:7Jer 51:44Jer 51:342Ch 33:11Deu 28:33Deu 28:51Isa 62:8
and take it even out of the thorns.
The snare gapes for their substance.
For affliction doesn’t come out of the dust, Isa 45:71Sa 6:9Job 34:29Psa 90:7Amo 3:6Deu 32:27Heb 12:15Hos 10:4
neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
but man is born to trouble, Job 14:1Gen 3:17-19Ecc 5:15-171Co 10:13Ecc 1:8Ecc 2:22Psa 90:8-9
as the sparks fly upward.
“But as for me, I would seek God. Psa 50:15Job 22:21Psa 37:52Ch 33:12-131Pe 4:191Pe 2:232Ti 1:12Job 22:27
I would commit my cause to God,
who does great things that can’t be fathomed, Psa 40:5Job 9:10Psa 72:18Psa 86:10Job 11:7-9Job 37:5Isa 40:28Job 26:5-14
marvelous things without number;
who gives rain on the earth, Act 14:17Jer 5:24Jer 14:22Psa 147:8Psa 65:9-11Amo 4:7Jer 10:13Job 28:26
and sends waters on the fields;
so that he sets up on high those who are low, Psa 113:71Sa 2:7-8Luk 1:52-53Luk 6:21Psa 107:41Deu 33:27Ezk 17:24Jas 4:6-10
those who mourn are exalted to safety.
He frustrates the plans of the crafty, Psa 21:11Psa 33:10-11Isa 8:10Pro 21:30Psa 37:17Act 12:11Isa 37:36Neh 4:15
so that their hands can’t perform their enterprise.
He takes the wise in their own craftiness; 1Co 3:19Psa 9:15-161Co 1:19-20Luk 1:51Psa 7:15-16Est 9:25Psa 18:26Psa 35:7-8
the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
They meet with darkness in the day time, Job 12:25Deu 28:29Isa 59:10Pro 4:19Amo 8:9
and grope at noonday as in the night.
But he saves from the sword of their mouth, Psa 35:10Psa 140:12Psa 109:31Job 4:10Psa 10:14Psa 10:17Psa 107:41Psa 72:4
even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
So the poor has hope, Psa 107:421Sa 2:8-9Psa 63:11Exo 11:7Isa 14:32Psa 9:18Rom 3:19Zec 9:12
and injustice shuts her mouth.
“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Jas 1:12Psa 94:12Pro 3:11-12Rev 3:19Jas 5:11Heb 12:5-11Jer 31:18
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
For he wounds and binds up. Hos 6:1Deu 32:39Isa 30:26Psa 147:31Sa 2:6
He injures and his hands make whole.
He will deliver you in six troubles; Psa 34:191Co 10:13Psa 91:3-10Pro 24:162Pe 2:92Co 1:8
yes, in seven no evil will touch you.
In famine he will redeem you from death; Psa 33:19Hos 13:14Gen 45:7Psa 37:191Ki 17:6Pro 10:3Hab 3:17Psa 27:3
in war, from the power of the sword.
You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, Psa 31:20Psa 91:5-7Pro 12:18Jer 18:18Psa 55:21Isa 54:17Jas 3:5-8Psa 57:4
neither will you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
You will laugh at destruction and famine, Ezk 34:25Isa 35:9Psa 91:13Hos 2:18Isa 65:252Ki 19:21
neither will you be afraid of the animals of the earth.
For you will be allied with the stones of the field. Lev 26:6Dan 6:22Isa 11:6-9Psa 91:12-13Hos 2:18Ezk 14:15-16Rom 8:38-39
The animals of the field will be at peace with you.
You will know that your tent is in peace. Psa 121:7-8Psa 91:10Job 8:6Deu 28:6Isa 4:5-6Job 18:21Job 18:6Psa 107:4
You will visit your fold, and will miss nothing.
You will know also that your offspring 1 will be great, Psa 112:2Psa 72:16Deu 28:4Gen 15:5Job 42:13-16Lev 26:9Psa 127:3-5Psa 128:3-6
your offspring as the grass of the earth.
You will come to your grave in a full age, Job 42:16-17Pro 9:11Psa 91:16Gen 15:15Pro 10:27Gen 25:8
like a shock of grain comes in its season.
Behold, we have researched it. It is so. Psa 111:2Pro 9:12Job 32:11-12Deu 10:13Pro 2:3-5Job 12:2Job 15:17Job 15:9-10
Hear it, and know it for your good.”
