Job 38:1-11
English Standard Version
The Lord Answers Job
38 Then the Lord (A)answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
2 “Who is this that (B)darkens counsel by words (C)without knowledge?
3 (D)Dress for action[a] like a man;
I will question you, and you make it known to me.
4 “Where were you when I (E)laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
7 when the morning stars (F)sang together
and all (G)the sons of God (H)shouted for joy?
8 “Or who (I)shut in the sea with doors
when it burst out from the womb,
9 when I made clouds its garment
and (J)thick darkness its swaddling band,
10 and prescribed (K)limits for it
and set bars and doors,
11 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
and here shall your (L)proud waves be stayed’?

English Standard Version
16 “Have you (A)entered into the springs of the sea,
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17 Have (B)the gates of death been revealed to you,
or have you seen the gates of (C)deep darkness?
18 Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
Declare, if you know all this.
2 Corinthians 5:14-21
English Standard Version
14 For the love of Christ (A)controls us, because we have concluded this: that (B)one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, (C)that those who live might no longer live for themselves but (D)for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16 From now on, therefore, (E)we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is (F)in Christ, he is (G)a new creation.[a] (H)The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, (I)who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us (J)the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling[b] the world to himself, (K)not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us (L)the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, (M)we are ambassadors for Christ, (N)God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 (O)For our sake he made him to be sin (P)who knew no sin, so that in him we might become (Q)the righteousness of God.

Jesus Calms a Storm
35 (A)On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” 36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves (B)were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. 38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” 39 And he awoke and (C)rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and (D)there was a great calm. 40 He said to them, “Why are you (E)so afraid? Have you still no faith?” 41 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, (F)“Who then is this, that even (G)the wind and the sea obey him?”
