Job 11:13-19
“ If you would direct your heart rightly And spread out your hands to Him,If wrongdoing is in your hand, put it far away, And do not let malice dwell in your tents;Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without moral blemish, And you would be firmly established and not fear.For you would forget your trouble; Like waters that have passed by, you would remember it.Your life would be brighter than noonday; Darkness would be like the morning.Then you would trust, because there is hope; And you would look around and rest securely.You would lie down and none would disturb you, And many would flatter you.

Job 5:8-26
“ But as for me, I would seek God, And I would make my plea before God,Who does great and unsearchable things, Wonders without number.He gives rain on the earth, And sends water on the fields,So that He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.He frustrates the schemes of the shrewd, So that their hands cannot attain success.He captures the wise by their own cleverness, And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.By day they meet with darkness, And grope at noon as in the night.But He saves from the sword of their mouth, And the poor from the hand of the strong.So the helpless has hope, And injustice has shut its mouth.“ Behold, happy is the person whom God disciplines, So do not reject the discipline of the Almighty.For He inflicts pain, and gives relief; He wounds, but His hands also heal.In six troubles He will save you; Even in seven, evil will not touch you.In famine He will redeem you from death, And in war, from the power of the sword.You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.You will laugh at violence and hunger, And you will not be afraid of wild animals.For you will be in league with the stones of the field, And the animals of the field will be at peace with you.You will know that your tent is secure, For you will visit your home and have nothing missing.You will also know that your descendants will be many, And your offspring as the grass of the earth.You will come to the grave at a ripe age, Like the stacking of grain in its season.
