Job 22:6-30
New King James Version
6 For you have (A)taken pledges from your brother for no reason,
And stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have not given the weary water to drink,
And you (B)have withheld bread from the hungry.
8 But the [a]mighty man possessed the land,
And the honorable man dwelt in it.
9 You have sent widows away empty,
And the [b]strength of the fatherless was crushed.
10 Therefore snares are all around you,
And sudden fear troubles you,
11 Or darkness so that you cannot see;
And an abundance of (C)water covers you.
12 “Is not God in the height of heaven?
And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13 And you say, (D)‘What does God know?
Can He judge through the deep darkness?
14 (E)Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see,
And He walks above the circle of heaven.’
15 Will you keep to the old way
Which wicked men have trod,
16 Who (F)were cut down before their time,
Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?
17 (G)They said to God, ‘Depart from us!
What can the Almighty do to [c]them?’
18 Yet He filled their houses with good things;
But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 “The(H) righteous see it and are glad,
And the innocent laugh at them:
20 ‘Surely our [d]adversaries are cut down,
And the fire consumes their remnant.’
21 “Now acquaint yourself with Him, and (I)be at peace;
Thereby good will come to you.
22 Receive, please, (J)instruction from His mouth,
And (K)lay up His words in your heart.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up;
You will remove iniquity far from your tents.
24 Then you will (L)lay your gold in the dust,
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25 Yes, the Almighty will be your [e]gold
And your precious silver;
26 For then you will have your (M)delight in the Almighty,
And lift up your face to God.
27 (N)You will make your prayer to Him,
He will hear you,
And you will pay your vows.
28 You will also declare a thing,
And it will be established for you;
So light will shine on your ways.
29 When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’
Then (O)He will save the humble person.
30 He will even deliver one who is not innocent;
Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands.”
Job 21:27-34
New King James Version
27 “Look, I know your thoughts,
And the schemes with which you would wrong me.
28 For you say,
‘Where is the house of the prince?
And where is [a]the tent,
The dwelling place of the wicked?’
29 Have you not asked those who travel the road?
And do you not know their signs?
30 (A)For the wicked are reserved for the day of doom;
They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.
31 Who condemns his way to his face?
And who repays him for what he has done?
32 Yet he shall be brought to the grave,
And a vigil kept over the tomb.
33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him;
(B)Everyone shall follow him,
As countless have gone before him.
34 How then can you comfort me with empty words,
Since [b]falsehood remains in your answers?”
Job 18:5-21
New King James Version
5 “The(A) light of the wicked indeed goes out,
And the flame of his fire does not shine.
6 The light is dark in his tent,
(B)And his lamp beside him is put out.
7 The steps of his strength are shortened,
And (C)his own counsel casts him down.
8 For (D)he is cast into a net by his own feet,
And he walks into a snare.
9 The net takes him by the heel,
And (E)a snare lays hold of him.
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground,
And a trap for him in the road.
11 (F)Terrors frighten him on every side,
And drive him to his feet.
12 His strength is starved,
And (G)destruction is ready at his side.
13 It devours patches of his skin;
The firstborn of death devours his [a]limbs.
14 He is uprooted from (H)the shelter of his tent,
And they parade him before the king of terrors.
15 They dwell in his tent who are none of his;
Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.
16 (I)His roots are dried out below,
And his branch withers above.
17 (J)The memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name [b]among the renowned.
18 [c]He is driven from light into darkness,
And chased out of the world.
19 (K)He has neither son nor posterity among his people,
Nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 Those [d]in the west are astonished (L)at his day,
As those [e]in the east are frightened.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,
And this is the place of him who (M)does not know God.”
Job 8:3-4
New King James Version
3 (A)Does God subvert judgment?
Or does the Almighty pervert justice?
4 If (B)your sons have sinned against Him,
He has cast them away [a]for their transgression.

Eliphaz: Job Is Chastened by God
5 “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 (A)I have seen the foolish taking root,
But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.
4 His sons are (B)far from safety,
They are crushed in the gate,
And (C)there is no deliverer.
5 Because the hungry eat up his harvest,
[a]Taking it even from the thorns,
[b]And a snare snatches their [c]substance.
Job 4:7-11
New King James Version
7 “Remember now, (A)who ever perished being innocent?
Or where were the upright ever cut off?
8 Even as I have seen,
(B)Those who plow iniquity
And sow trouble reap the same.
9 By the blast of God they perish,
And by the breath of His anger they are consumed.
10 The roaring of the lion,
The voice of the fierce lion,
And (C)the teeth of the young lions are broken.
11 (D)The old lion perishes for lack of prey,
And the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
