Job 29
New American Standard Bible 1995
Job’s Past Was Glorious
29 And Job again took up his (A)discourse and said,
2 “Oh that I were as in months gone by,
As in the days when God (B)watched over me;
3 When (C)His lamp shone over my head,
And (D)by His light I walked through darkness;
4 As I was in [a]the prime of my days,
When the [b](E)friendship of God was over my tent;
5 When [c]the Almighty was yet with me,
And my children were around me;
6 When my steps were bathed in (F)butter,
And the (G)rock poured out for me streams of oil!
7 “When I went out to (H)the gate of the city,
When I [d]took my seat in the square,
8 The young men saw me and hid themselves,
And the old men arose and stood.
9 “The princes (I)stopped talking
And (J)put their hands on their mouths;
10 The voice of the nobles was [e](K)hushed,
And their (L)tongue stuck to their palate.
11 “For when (M)the ear heard, it called me blessed,
And when the eye saw, it gave witness of me,
12 Because I delivered (N)the poor who cried for help,
And the (O)orphan who had no helper.
13 “The blessing of the one (P)ready to perish came upon me,
And I made the (Q)widow’s heart sing for joy.
14 “I (R)put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a turban.
15 “I was (S)eyes to the blind
And feet to the lame.
16 “I was a father to (T)the needy,
And I investigated the case which I did not know.
17 “I (U)broke the jaws of the wicked
And snatched the prey from his teeth.
18 “Then I [f]thought, ‘I shall die [g]in my nest,
And I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19 ‘My (V)root is spread out to the waters,
And (W)dew lies all night on my branch.
20 ‘My glory is ever new with me,
And my (X)bow is renewed in my hand.’
21 “To me (Y)they listened and waited,
And kept silent for my counsel.
22 “After my words they did not (Z)speak again,
And (AA)my speech dropped on them.
23 “They waited for me as for the rain,
And opened their mouth as for the spring rain.
24 “I smiled on them when they did not believe,
And the light of my face they did not cast down.
25 “I chose a way for them and sat as (AB)chief,
And dwelt as a king among the troops,
As one who (AC)comforted the mourners.
Proverbs 2:20-22
New American Standard Bible 1995
20 So you will (A)walk in the way of good men
And keep to the (B)paths of the righteous.
21 For (C)the upright will [a]live in the land
And (D)the blameless will remain in it;
22 But (E)the wicked will be cut off from the land
And (F)the treacherous will be (G)uprooted from it.

Personal Relationships
21 “(A)You have heard that [a]the ancients were told, ‘(B)You shall not commit murder’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be [b]liable to (C)the court.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be [c]guilty before (D)the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘[d]You good-for-nothing,’ shall be [e]guilty before [f](E)the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be [g]guilty enough to go into the [h](F)fiery hell. 23 Therefore if you are (G)presenting your [i]offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your [j]offering there before the altar and go; first be (H)reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your [k]offering. 25 (I)Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I say to you, (J)you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last [l]cent.
27 “(K)You have heard that it was said, ‘(L)You shall not commit adultery’; 28 but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman (M)with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 (N)If your right eye makes you [m]stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you [n]to lose one of the parts of your body, [o]than for your whole body to be thrown into [p](O)hell. 30 (P)If your right hand makes you [q]stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you [r]to lose one of the parts of your body, [s]than for your whole body to go into [t](Q)hell.
31 “It was said, ‘(R)Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce’; 32 (S)but I say to you that everyone who [u]divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a [v]divorced woman commits adultery.
33 “Again, (T)you have heard that [w]the ancients were told, ‘[x](U)You shall not [y]make false vows, but shall fulfill your [z]vows to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, (V)make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is (W)the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is the (X)footstool of His feet, or [aa]by Jerusalem, for it is (Y)the city of the great King. 36 Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is [ab]of (Z)evil.
38 “(AA)You have heard that it was said, ‘(AB)An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but (AC)whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your [ac]shirt, let him have your [ad]coat also. 41 Whoever [ae]forces you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 (AD)Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
43 “(AE)You have heard that it was said, ‘(AF)You shall love your neighbor (AG)and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, (AH)love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may [af]be (AI)sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 For (AJ)if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 Therefore [ag](AK)you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
