Job Speaks
After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
-
He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.
-
So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
-
Is there any wickedness on my lips? Can my mouth not discern malice?
-
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.
-
Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty.
-
Your sin prompts your mouth; you adopt the tongue of the crafty.
-
Your own mouth condemns you, not mine; your own lips testify against you.
-
so that you vent your rage against God and pour out such words from your mouth?
-
He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.
-
But my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
-
People open their mouths to jeer at me; they strike my cheek in scorn and unite together against me.
-
I summon my servant, but he does not answer, though I beg him with my own mouth.
-
“Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he hides it under his tongue,
-
though he cannot bear to let it go and lets it linger in his mouth,
-
Look at me and be appalled; clap your hand over your mouth.
-
Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart.
-
I would state my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.
-
I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
-
Who has helped you utter these words? And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?
-
the chief men refrained from speaking and covered their mouths with their hands;
-
the voices of the nobles were hushed, and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.
-
I have not allowed my mouth to sin by invoking a curse against their life—
-
I am about to open my mouth; my words are on the tip of my tongue.
-
So Job opens his mouth with empty talk; without knowledge he multiplies words.”
