12 (A)What man is he that desireth life, and loveth long days for to [d]see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips, that they speak no guile.
14 Eschew evil and do good: seek peace and follow after it.
13 3 Job compareth his knowledge with the experience of his friends. 16 The penitent shall be saved, and the hypocrite condemned, 20 He prayeth unto God, that he would not handle him rigorously.
1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this: mine ear hath heard, and understood it.
2 I know also as much as you know: I am not inferior unto you.
3 But I will speak to the Almighty, and I desire [a]to dispute with God.
4 For indeed ye forge lies, and all you are [b]physicians of no value.
5 Oh, that you would hold your tongue, that it might be imputed to you for wisdom!
6 Now hear my disputation, and give ear to the arguments of my lips.
7 Will ye speak [c]wickedly for God’s defense, and talk deceitfully for his cause?
8 Will ye accept his person? or will ye contend for God?
9 Is it well that he should seek of you? will you make a lie for him, as one lieth for a man?
10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept any person.
11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his fear fall upon you?
12 Your [d]memories may be compared unto ashes, and your bodies unto bodies of clay.
13 Hold your tongues in my presence, that I may speak, and let come upon what will.
14 Wherefore do I [e]take my flesh in my teeth, and put my soul in my hand?
15 Lo, though he slay me, yet will I trust in him, and I will reprove my ways in his sight.
16 He shall be my salvation also: for the [f]hypocrite shall not come before him.
17 Hear diligently my words, and mark my talk.
18 Behold now: if I prepare me to judgment, I know that I shall be [g]justified.
19 Who is he that will plead [h]with me? for if I now hold my tongue, I [i]die.
7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said unto her, Give me drink.
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city, to buy meat.
9 Then said the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it, that thou being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews [a]meddle not with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest [b]that gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee [c]water of life.
11 The woman said unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the Well is deep: from whence then hast thou that water of life?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the Well, and he himself drank thereof, and his sons, and his cattle.
13 Jesus answered, and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never be more athirst: but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman said unto him, Sir, give me of that water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus said unto her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered, and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, thou hast well said, I have no husband.
18 For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thine husband: that saidest thou truly.
19 The woman said unto him, Sir, I see that thou art a Prophet.
20 [d]Our fathers worshipped in this [e]mountain, and ye say, that in (A)Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem worship the Father.
22 Ye worship that which ye (B)know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in [f]Spirit and Truth: for the Father requireth even such to worship him.
24 (C)God is a [g]Spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in Spirit and Truth.
25 The woman said unto him, I know well that Messiah shall come, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus said unto her, I am he, that speak unto thee.
