Job 22:5-30
Is not your evil abundant? There is no end to your iniquities.For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing and stripped the naked of their clothing.You have given no water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.The man with power possessed the land, and the favored man lived in it.You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.Therefore snares are all around you, and sudden terror overwhelms you,or darkness, so that you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.“ Is not God high in the heavens? See the highest stars, how lofty they are!But you say,‘ What does God know? Can he judge through the deep darkness?Thick clouds veil him, so that he does not see, and he walks on the vault of heaven.’Will you keep to the old way that wicked men have trod?They were snatched away before their time; their foundation was washed away.They said to God,‘ Depart from us,’ and‘ What can the Almighty do to us?’Yet he filled their houses with good things— but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent one mocks at them,saying,‘ Surely our adversaries are cut off, and what they left the fire has consumed.’“ Agree with God, and be at peace; thereby good will come to you.Receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.If you return to the Almighty you will be built up; if you remove injustice far from your tents,if you lay gold in the dust, and gold of Ophir among the stones of the torrent-bed,then the Almighty will be your gold and your precious silver.For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you, and you will pay your vows.You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.For when they are humbled you say,‘ It is because of pride’; but he saves the lowly.He delivers even the one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”

Job 2:3-6
And the Lord said to Satan,“ Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him without reason.”Then Satan answered the Lord and said,“ Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life.But stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.”And the Lord said to Satan,“ Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life.”

Ecclesiastes 9:1-2
But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him.It is the same for all, since the same event happens to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As the good one is, so is the sinner, and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath.
-
Job 1:8-12
And the Lord said to Satan,“ Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?”Then Satan answered the Lord and said,“ Does Job fear God for no reason?Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.”And the Lord said to Satan,“ Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
