Job 5
New American Standard Bible
God Is Just
5 “Call now, is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the (A)holy ones will you turn?
2 For (B)irritation kills the fool,
And jealousy brings death to the simple.
3 I have seen the (C)fool taking root,
And I (D)cursed his home immediately.
4 His (E)sons are far from safety,
They are also [a]oppressed at the gate,
And there is no one to save them.
5 [b]The hungry devour his harvest
And take it to a place of thorns,
And the [c](F)schemer is eager for their wealth.
6 For (G)disaster does not come from the dust,
Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7 For (H)man is born for trouble,
As sparks fly upward.
8 “But as for me, I would (I)seek God,
And I would make my plea before God,
9 Who (J)does great and unsearchable things,
[d]Wonders without number.
10 He (K)gives rain on the earth,
And sends water on the fields,
11 So that (L)He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 He (M)frustrates the schemes of the shrewd,
So that their hands cannot attain success.
13 He (N)captures the wise by their own cleverness,
And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.
14 By day they (O)meet with darkness,
And grope at noon as in the night.
15 But He saves from (P)the sword of their mouth,
And (Q)the poor from the hand of the strong.
16 So the helpless has hope,
And (R)injustice has shut its mouth.
17 “Behold, (S)happy is the person whom God disciplines,
So do not reject the (T)discipline of [e]the Almighty.
18 For (U)He inflicts pain, and [f]gives relief;
He wounds, but His hands also heal.
19 In six troubles (V)He will save you;
Even in seven, (W)evil will not touch you.
20 In (X)famine He will redeem you from death,
And (Y)in war, from the power of the sword.
21 You will be (Z)hidden [g]from the scourge of the tongue,
(AA)And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.
22 You will (AB)laugh at violence and hunger,
(AC)And you will not be afraid of [h]wild animals.
23 For you will be in league with the stones of the field,
And (AD)the animals of the field will be at peace with you.
24 You will know that your (AE)tent is secure,
For you will visit your home and [i]have nothing missing.
25 You will also know that your [j](AF)descendants will be many,
And (AG)your offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 You will (AH)come to the grave at a ripe age,
Like the stacking of grain in its season.
27 Behold this; we have investigated it, and so it is.
Hear it, and know for yourself.”
Psalm 13
New American Standard Bible
Prayer for Help in Trouble.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
13 How long, Lord? Will You (A)forget me forever?
How long (B)will You hide Your face from me?
2 How long am I to (C)feel anxious in my soul,
With (D)grief in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
John 1:15-51
New American Standard Bible
15 John *(A)testified about Him and called out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘(B)He who is coming after me has proved to be [a]my superior, (C)because He existed before me.’” 16 For of His (D)fullness [b]we have all received, and [c]grace upon grace. 17 For (E)the Law was given through Moses; (F)grace and (G)truth [d]were realized through Jesus Christ. 18 (H)No one has seen God at any time; (I)God the only Son, who is (J)in the [e]arms of the Father, (K)He has [f]explained Him.
The Testimony of John the Baptist
19 This is (L)the testimony of John, when (M)the Jews sent priests and Levites to him (N)from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 And he confessed and did not deny; and this is what he confessed: “(O)I am not the [g]Christ.” 21 And so they asked him, “What then? Are you (P)Elijah?” And he *said, “I am not.” “Are you (Q)the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 Then they said to him, “Who are you? Tell us, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am (R)the voice of one calling [h]out in the wilderness, ‘Make the way of the Lord straight,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
24 And the messengers had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, and said to him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the [i]Christ, nor Elijah, nor (S)the Prophet?” 26 John answered them, saying, “(T)I baptize [j]in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know. 27 It is (U)He who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy even to untie the (V)strap of His sandal.” 28 These things took place in Bethany (W)beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing people.
29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him, and *said, “Behold, (X)the Lamb of God who (Y)takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is He in behalf of whom I said, ‘(Z)After me is coming a Man who has proved to be [k]my superior, (AA)because He existed before me.’ 31 And I did not recognize [l]Him, but so that He would be revealed to Israel, I came baptizing [m]in water.” 32 And John (AB)testified, saying, “(AC)I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. 33 And I did not recognize [n]Him, but He who sent me to baptize [o]in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, (AD)this is the One who baptizes [p]in the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I myself have seen, and have testified that this is (AE)the [q]Son of God.”
Jesus’ Public Ministry; First Converts
35 Again (AF)the next day John was standing [r]with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and *said, “Behold, (AG)the Lamb of God!” 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus turned and saw them following, and *said to them, “What are you seeking?” They said to Him, “(AH)Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?” 39 He *said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they came and saw where He was staying, and they stayed with Him that day; it was about the [s]tenth hour. 40 (AI)One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first *found his own brother Simon and *said to him, “We have found the (AJ)Messiah” (which translated means [t]Christ). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of [u](AK)John; you shall be called (AL)Cephas” (which is translated [v](AM)Peter).
43 (AN)The next day He [w]decided to go to (AO)Galilee, and He *found (AP)Philip. And Jesus *said to him, “(AQ)Follow Me.” 44 Now (AR)Philip was from (AS)Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 (AT)Philip *found (AU)Nathanael and *said to him, “We have found Him of whom (AV)Moses wrote in the Law, and (AW)the prophets also wrote: Jesus (AX)the son of Joseph, from (AY)Nazareth!” 46 Nathanael said to him, “(AZ)Can anything good be from Nazareth?” (BA)Philip *said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said of him, “Here is truly an (BB)Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael *said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before (BC)Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael answered Him, “(BD)Rabbi, You are (BE)the Son of God; You are the (BF)King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And He *said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see (BG)heaven opened and (BH)the angels of God ascending and descending on (BI)the Son of Man.”
