Does God pervert justice? 2Ch 19:7Deu 32:4Gen 18:25Dan 9:14Ezk 33:20Job 34:10-12Rom 3:4-6Ezk 18:25
Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
If your children have sinned against him, Job 1:5Job 1:18-19Job 5:4Gen 19:13-25Job 18:16-19Gen 13:13
he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
If you want to seek God diligently, Jas 4:7-10Heb 3:7-8Isa 55:6-7Job 11:13Mat 7:7-82Ch 33:12-13Job 5:8Job 22:21-30
make your supplication to the Almighty.
If you were pure and upright, Isa 51:9Isa 3:10Job 5:24Pro 15:8Psa 7:6Job 16:17Job 4:6-7Psa 59:4-5
surely now he would awaken for you,
and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.

yet your latter end would greatly increase.

because our days on earth are a shadow.)
Shall they not teach you, tell you, Pro 18:15Mat 12:35Deu 11:19Deu 6:7Heb 11:4Heb 12:1Job 12:7-8Job 32:7
and utter words out of their heart?
“Can the papyrus grow up without mire? Exo 2:3Isa 19:5-7
Can the rushes grow without water?
While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, Jer 17:61Pe 1:24Jas 1:10-11Mat 13:20Psa 129:6-7

The hope of the godless man will perish,
whose confidence will break apart, Isa 59:5-6

He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. Job 27:18Luk 6:47-49Mat 7:24-27Job 18:14Pro 10:28Psa 112:10Psa 49:11Psa 52:5-7
He will cling to it, but it will not endure.
He is green before the sun. Psa 80:11Jer 11:16Job 21:7-15Job 5:3Psa 37:35-36Psa 73:3-12
His shoots go out along his garden.
His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. Isa 40:24Isa 5:24Jer 12:1-2Job 18:16Job 29:19Jud 1:12Mrk 11:20
He sees the place of stones.
If he is destroyed from his place, Job 7:10Job 7:8Psa 37:36Job 20:9Psa 37:10Psa 73:18-19Psa 92:7
