Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant
7 After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, (A)he entered Capernaum. 2 Now a centurion had a servant[a] who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. 3 When the centurion[b] heard about Jesus, (B)he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, (C)“He is worthy to have you do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us (D)our synagogue.” 6 And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, (E)do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. 7 Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But (F)say the word, and let my servant be healed. 8 For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 9 When Jesus heard these things, (G)he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such (H)faith.” 10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.
Jesus Raises a Widow's Son
11 Soon afterward[c] he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. 12 As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, (I)the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, (J)he had compassion on her and (K)said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then he came up and touched (L)the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, (M)arise.” 15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus[d] (N)gave him to his mother. 16 Fear seized them all, and (O)they glorified God, saying, (P)“A great prophet has arisen among us!” and (Q)“God has visited his people!” 17 And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.
Messengers from John the Baptist
18 (R)(S)The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John, 19 calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one (T)who is to come, or (U)shall we look for another?” 20 And when the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one (V)who is to come, or (W)shall we look for another?’” 21 In that hour (X)he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and (Y)on many who were blind he bestowed sight. 22 And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: (Z)the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, (AA)lepers[e] are cleansed, and (AB)the deaf hear, (AC)the dead are raised up, (AD)the poor have good news preached to them. 23 And blessed is the one who is (AE)not offended by me.”
24 When John's messengers had gone, Jesus[f] began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out (AF)into the wilderness to see? (AG)A reed shaken by the wind? 25 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are dressed in splendid clothing and live in luxury are in kings' courts. 26 What then did you go out to see? (AH)A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written,
(AI)“‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.’
28 I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” 29 ((AJ)When all the people heard this, and (AK)the tax collectors too, they declared God just,[g] (AL)having been baptized with (AM)the baptism of John, 30 (AN)but the Pharisees and (AO)the lawyers (AP)rejected (AQ)the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)
31 “To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another,
“‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’
33 For John the Baptist has come (AR)eating no bread and (AS)drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man has come (AT)eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, (AU)a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 Yet (AV)wisdom is justified by all her children.”
A Sinful Woman Forgiven
36 (AW)One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table. 37 (AX)And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and (AY)wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If (AZ)this man were (BA)a prophet, he (BB)would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.” 40 And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.”
41 “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred (BC)denarii, and the other fifty. 42 (BD)When they could not pay, he (BE)cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; (BF)you gave me no water for my feet, but (BG)she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 (BH)You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to (BI)kiss my feet. 46 (BJ)You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, (BK)which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And he said to her, (BL)“Your sins are forgiven.” 49 Then those who were at table with him began to say among[h] themselves, (BM)“Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 50 And he said to the woman, (BN)“Your faith has saved you; (BO)go in peace.”

The Faith of the Centurion(A)
7 When Jesus had finished saying all this(B) to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them.
He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.(C) 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son(D)
11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord(E) saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”
14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”(F) 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 They were all filled with awe(G) and praised God.(H) “A great prophet(I) has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”(J) 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.(K)
Jesus and John the Baptist(L)
18 John’s(M) disciples(N) told him about all these things. Calling two of them, 19 he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”
21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses(O) and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. 22 So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[a] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(P) 23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
24 After John’s messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 25 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet?(Q) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written:
28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God(S) is greater than he.”
29 (All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus’ words, acknowledged that God’s way was right, because they had been baptized by John.(T) 30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law(U) rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)
31 Jesus went on to say, “To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:
“‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not cry.’
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine,(V) and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’(W) 35 But wisdom is proved right by all her children.”
Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman(X)(Y)
36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,(Z) he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,[c] and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet,(AA) but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss,(AB) but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head,(AC) but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”(AD)
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you;(AE) go in peace.”(AF)
Hosea 7-9

Hosea 7-9
English Standard Version
7 (A)when I would heal Israel,
the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed,
and the evil deeds of (B)Samaria,
for (C)they deal falsely;
the thief breaks in,
and the bandits raid outside.
2 But they do not consider
that (D)I remember all their evil.
Now (E)their deeds surround them;
(F)they are before my face.
3 By their evil (G)they make (H)the king glad,
and the princes by their treachery.
4 (I)They are all adulterers;
they are like a heated oven
whose baker ceases to stir the fire,
from the kneading of the dough
until it is leavened.
5 On the day of (J)our king, the princes
became sick with the heat of wine;
he stretched out his hand with mockers.
6 For with hearts like an oven (K)they approach their intrigue;
all night their anger smolders;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven,
and they devour their rulers.
All (L)their kings (M)have fallen,
and none of them calls upon me.
8 Ephraim (N)mixes himself with the peoples;
Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 (O)Strangers devour his strength,
and (P)he knows it not;
gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,
and (Q)he knows it not.
10 (R)The pride of Israel testifies to his face;[a]
(S)yet they do not return to the Lord their God,
nor seek him, for all this.
11 Ephraim is like a dove,
(T)silly and without sense,
calling to (U)Egypt, going to (V)Assyria.
12 As they go, (W)I will spread over them my net;
I will bring them down like birds of the heavens;
(X)I will discipline them (Y)according to the report made to their congregation.
13 (Z)Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!
Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
(AA)I would redeem them,
but (AB)they speak lies against me.
14 (AC)They do not cry to me from the heart,
but (AD)they wail upon their beds;
for grain and wine they gash themselves;
they rebel against me.
15 Although (AE)I trained and strengthened their arms,
yet they devise evil against me.
16 They (AF)return, but not upward;[b]
they are (AG)like a treacherous bow;
their princes shall fall by the sword
because of (AH)the insolence of their tongue.
This shall be their derision (AI)in the land of Egypt.
Israel Will Reap the Whirlwind
8 Set (AJ)the trumpet to your lips!
One (AK)like a vulture is over the house of the Lord,
because (AL)they have transgressed my covenant
and rebelled against my law.
2 To me they cry,
(AM)“My God, we—Israel—know you.”
3 Israel has spurned the good;
the enemy shall pursue him.
4 (AN)They made kings, (AO)but not through me.
They set up princes, but I knew it not.
With their silver and gold they made idols
for their own destruction.
5 (AP)I have[c] spurned your calf, O Samaria.
My anger burns against them.
(AQ)How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6 For it is from Israel;
a craftsman made it;
it is not God.
(AR)The calf of Samaria
(AS)shall be broken to pieces.[d]
7 For (AT)they sow the wind,
and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads;
it shall yield no flour;
if it were to yield,
(AU)strangers would devour it.
8 (AV)Israel is swallowed up;
already they are among the nations
as (AW)a useless vessel.
9 For (AX)they have gone up to Assyria,
(AY)a wild donkey wandering alone;
Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 Though they hire allies among the nations,
I will soon gather them up.
And (AZ)the king and princes (BA)shall soon writhe
because of the tribute.
11 Because Ephraim (BB)has multiplied altars for sinning,
they have become to him altars for sinning.
12 (BC)Were I to write for him my laws by the ten thousands,
they would be regarded as a strange thing.
13 As for my sacrificial offerings,
(BD)they sacrifice meat and eat it,
but the Lord does not accept them.
(BE)Now he will remember their iniquity
and punish their sins;
(BF)they shall return to Egypt.
14 For (BG)Israel has forgotten (BH)his Maker
and (BI)built palaces,
and (BJ)Judah has multiplied fortified cities;
so (BK)I will send a fire upon his cities,
and it shall devour her strongholds.
The Lord Will Punish Israel
9 Rejoice not, O Israel!
Exult not like the peoples;
(BL)for you have played the whore, forsaking your God.
(BM)You have loved a prostitute's wages
on all threshing floors.
2 (BN)Threshing floor and wine vat shall not feed them,
and (BO)the new wine shall fail them.
3 They shall not remain in (BP)the land of the Lord,
but (BQ)Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
and (BR)they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
4 (BS)They shall not pour drink offerings of wine to the Lord,
(BT)and their sacrifices shall not please him.
It shall be like (BU)mourners' bread to them;
all who eat of it shall be defiled;
for their bread shall be for their hunger only;
(BV)it shall not come to the house of the Lord.
5 (BW)What will you do on the day of the appointed festival,
and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 For behold, they are going away from destruction;
but (BX)Egypt shall gather them;
Memphis shall bury them.
Nettles shall possess (BY)their precious things of silver;
(BZ)thorns shall be in their tents.
7 (CA)The days of punishment have come;
the days of recompense have come;
Israel shall know it.
(CB)The prophet is a fool;
the man of the spirit is mad,
because of your great iniquity
and great hatred.
8 The prophet is (CC)the watchman of Ephraim with my God;
yet (CD)a fowler's snare is on all his ways,
and hatred in the house of his God.
9 (CE)They have deeply corrupted themselves
as (CF)in the days of Gibeah:
(CG)he will remember their iniquity;
he will punish their sins.
10 Like grapes in the wilderness,
(CH)I found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree
in its first season,
I saw your fathers.
But (CI)they came to Baal-peor
and (CJ)consecrated themselves to the thing of shame,
and (CK)became detestable like the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim's (CL)glory shall fly away like a bird—
(CM)no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
12 (CN)Even if they bring up children,
I will bereave them till none is left.
(CO)Woe to them
when (CP)I depart from them!
13 Ephraim, (CQ)as I have seen, was like a young palm[e] planted in a meadow;
but (CR)Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.[f]
14 Give them, O Lord—
what will you give?
Give them (CS)a miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.
15 Every evil of theirs is in (CT)Gilgal;
there I began to hate them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds
I will drive them out of my house.
I will love them no more;
all (CU)their princes are (CV)rebels.
16 Ephraim is stricken;
(CW)their root is dried up;
they shall bear no fruit.
Even (CX)though they give birth,
(CY)I will put their beloved children to death.
17 (CZ)My God will reject them
because they have not listened to him;
(DA)they shall be wanderers among the nations.

6 Their hearts are like an oven;(L)
they approach him with intrigue.
Their passion smolders all night;

7 All of them are hot as an oven;
they devour their rulers.
All their kings fall,(M)

8 “Ephraim mixes(O) with the nations;
Ephraim is a flat loaf not turned over.
9 Foreigners sap his strength,(P)
but he does not realize it.
His hair is sprinkled with gray,
but he does not notice.
10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against him,(Q)
but despite all this
he does not return(R) to the Lord his God
or search(S) for him.
11 “Ephraim is like a dove,(T)
easily deceived and senseless—
now calling to Egypt,(U)
now turning to Assyria.(V)
12 When they go, I will throw my net(W) over them;
I will pull them down like the birds in the sky.
When I hear them flocking together,
I will catch them.
13 Woe(X) to them,
because they have strayed(Y) from me!
Destruction to them,
because they have rebelled against me!
I long to redeem them
but they speak about me(Z) falsely.(AA)
14 They do not cry out to me from their hearts(AB)
but wail on their beds.
They slash themselves,[a] appealing to their gods
for grain and new wine,(AC)
but they turn away from me.(AD)
15 I trained(AE) them and strengthened their arms,
but they plot evil(AF) against me.
16 They do not turn to the Most High;(AG)
they are like a faulty bow.(AH)
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of their insolent(AI) words.
For this they will be ridiculed(AJ)
in the land of Egypt.(AK)
Israel to Reap the Whirlwind
8 “Put the trumpet(AL) to your lips!
An eagle(AM) is over the house of the Lord
because the people have broken my covenant(AN)
and rebelled against my law.(AO)
2 Israel cries out to me,
‘Our God, we acknowledge you!’
3 But Israel has rejected what is good;
an enemy will pursue him.(AP)
4 They set up kings without my consent;
they choose princes without my approval.(AQ)
With their silver and gold
they make idols(AR) for themselves
to their own destruction.
5 Samaria, throw out your calf-idol!(AS)
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of purity?(AT)
6 They are from Israel!
This calf—a metalworker has made it;
it is not God.(AU)
It will be broken in pieces,
that calf(AV) of Samaria.(AW)
7 “They sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind.(AX)
The stalk has no head;
it will produce no flour.(AY)
Were it to yield grain,
foreigners would swallow it up.(AZ)
8 Israel is swallowed up;(BA)
now she is among the nations
like something no one wants.(BB)
9 For they have gone up to Assyria(BC)
like a wild donkey(BD) wandering alone.
Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.(BE)
10 Although they have sold themselves among the nations,
I will now gather them together.(BF)
They will begin to waste away(BG)
under the oppression of the mighty king.
11 “Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings,
these have become altars for sinning.(BH)
12 I wrote for them the many things of my law,
but they regarded them as something foreign.(BI)
13 Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to me,
and though they eat(BJ) the meat,
the Lord is not pleased with them.(BK)
Now he will remember(BL) their wickedness
and punish their sins:(BM)
They will return to Egypt.(BN)
14 Israel has forgotten(BO) their Maker(BP)
and built palaces;
Judah has fortified many towns.
But I will send fire on their cities
that will consume their fortresses.”(BQ)
Punishment for Israel
9 Do not rejoice, Israel;
do not be jubilant(BR) like the other nations.
For you have been unfaithful(BS) to your God;
you love the wages of a prostitute(BT)
at every threshing floor.
2 Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people;
the new wine(BU) will fail them.
3 They will not remain(BV) in the Lord’s land;
Ephraim will return to Egypt(BW)
and eat unclean food in Assyria.(BX)
4 They will not pour out wine offerings(BY) to the Lord,
nor will their sacrifices please(BZ) him.
Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners;(CA)
all who eat them will be unclean.(CB)
This food will be for themselves;
it will not come into the temple of the Lord.(CC)
5 What will you do(CD) on the day of your appointed festivals,(CE)
on the feast days of the Lord?
6 Even if they escape from destruction,
Egypt will gather them,(CF)
and Memphis(CG) will bury them.(CH)
Their treasures of silver(CI) will be taken over by briers,
and thorns(CJ) will overrun their tents.
7 The days of punishment(CK) are coming,
the days of reckoning(CL) are at hand.
Let Israel know this.
Because your sins(CM) are so many
and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,(CN)
the inspired person a maniac.(CO)
8 The prophet, along with my God,
is the watchman over Ephraim,[b]
yet snares(CP) await him on all his paths,
and hostility in the house of his God.(CQ)
9 They have sunk deep into corruption,(CR)
as in the days of Gibeah.(CS)
God will remember(CT) their wickedness
and punish them for their sins.(CU)
10 “When I found Israel,
it was like finding grapes in the desert;
when I saw your ancestors,
it was like seeing the early fruit(CV) on the fig(CW) tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,(CX)
they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol(CY)
and became as vile as the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory(CZ) will fly away like a bird(DA)—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.(DB)
12 Even if they rear children,
I will bereave(DC) them of every one.
Woe(DD) to them
when I turn away from them!(DE)
13 I have seen Ephraim,(DF) like Tyre,
planted in a pleasant place.(DG)
But Ephraim will bring out
their children to the slayer.”(DH)
14 Give them, Lord—
what will you give them?
Give them wombs that miscarry
and breasts that are dry.(DI)
15 “Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal,(DJ)
I hated them there.
Because of their sinful deeds,(DK)
I will drive them out of my house.
I will no longer love them;(DL)
all their leaders are rebellious.(DM)
16 Ephraim(DN) is blighted,
their root is withered,
they yield no fruit.(DO)
Even if they bear children,
I will slay(DP) their cherished offspring.”

2 Keep listening to the thunder of his voice
and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
3 Under the whole heaven he lets it go,
and his (A)lightning to the (B)corners of the earth.
4 After it (C)his voice roars;
(D)he thunders with his majestic voice,
and he does not restrain the lightnings[a] when his voice is heard.
5 God thunders wondrously with his voice;
he does (E)great things that we cannot (F)comprehend.
6 For to (G)the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth,’
likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour.
7 He (H)seals up the hand of every man,
that all men whom he made may (I)know it.
8 Then the beasts go into their (J)lairs,
and remain in their (K)dens.
9 From (L)its chamber (M)comes the whirlwind,
and (N)cold from the scattering winds.
10 By the breath of God (O)ice is given,
and (P)the broad waters are frozen fast.
11 He loads the thick cloud with moisture;
the clouds scatter his lightning.
12 They (Q)turn around and around by his (R)guidance,
(S)to accomplish all that he commands them
on the face of (T)the habitable world.
13 Whether for (U)correction or for his (V)land
or for (W)love, he causes it to happen.
14 “Hear this, O Job;
stop and (X)consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Do you know how God lays his command upon them
and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Do you know the balancings[b] of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him who is (Y)perfect in knowledge,
17 you whose garments are hot
when the earth is still because of the south wind?
18 Can you, like him, (Z)spread out the skies,
hard as a cast metal (AA)mirror?
19 Teach us what we shall say to him;
we cannot draw up our case because of (AB)darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak?
Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?
21 “And now no one looks on the light
when it is bright in the skies,
when the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor;
God is clothed with (AC)awesome majesty.
23 The Almighty—we (AD)cannot find him;
he is (AE)great in power;
(AF)justice and abundant righteousness he will not (AG)violate.
24 Therefore men (AH)fear him;
he does not regard any who are (AI)wise in their own conceit.”[c]
Job 37
New International Version
Job 37
New International Version
37 “At this my heart pounds(A)
and leaps from its place.
2 Listen!(B) Listen to the roar of his voice,(C)
to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.(D)
3 He unleashes his lightning(E) beneath the whole heaven
and sends it to the ends of the earth.(F)
4 After that comes the sound of his roar;
he thunders(G) with his majestic voice.(H)
When his voice resounds,
he holds nothing back.
5 God’s voice thunders(I) in marvelous ways;(J)
he does great things beyond our understanding.(K)
6 He says to the snow,(L) ‘Fall on the earth,’
and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’(M)
7 So that everyone he has made may know his work,(N)
he stops all people from their labor.[a](O)
8 The animals take cover;(P)
they remain in their dens.(Q)
9 The tempest comes out from its chamber,(R)
the cold from the driving winds.(S)
10 The breath of God produces ice,
and the broad waters become frozen.(T)
11 He loads the clouds with moisture;(U)
he scatters his lightning(V) through them.(W)
12 At his direction they swirl around
over the face of the whole earth
to do whatever he commands them.(X)
13 He brings the clouds to punish people,(Y)
or to water his earth and show his love.(Z)
14 “Listen(AA) to this, Job;
stop and consider God’s wonders.(AB)
15 Do you know how God controls the clouds
and makes his lightning(AC) flash?(AD)
16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised,(AE)
those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?(AF)
17 You who swelter in your clothes
when the land lies hushed under the south wind,(AG)
18 can you join him in spreading out the skies,(AH)
hard as a mirror of cast bronze?(AI)
19 “Tell us what we should say to him;(AJ)
we cannot draw up our case(AK) because of our darkness.(AL)
20 Should he be told that I want to speak?
Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
21 Now no one can look at the sun,(AM)
bright as it is in the skies
after the wind has swept them clean.
22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor;(AN)
God comes in awesome majesty.(AO)
23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;(AP)
in his justice(AQ) and great righteousness, he does not oppress.(AR)
24 Therefore, people revere him,(AS)
for does he not have regard for all the wise(AT) in heart?[b]”
