Job 37:1  At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. 

Job 37:2  Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 

Job 37:3  He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. 

Job 37:4  After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. 

Job 37:5  God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 

Job 37:6  For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

Job 37:8  Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 

Job 37:9  Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. 

Job 37:10  By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 

Job 37:11  Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 

Job 37:12  And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 

Job 37:13  He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 

Job 37:14  Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 

Job 37:15  Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? 

Job 37:16  Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? 

Job 37:17  How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? 

Job 37:18  Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? 

Job 37:19  Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. 

Job 37:20  Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. 

Job 37:21  And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. 

Job 37:22  Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty. 

Job 37:23  Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. 

Job 37:24  Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. 

 

Job 38:1  Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 

Job 38:2  Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 

Job 38:3  Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 

Job 38:4  Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 

Job 38:5  Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 

Job 38:6  Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 

Job 38:7  When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 

Job 38:8  Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 

Job 38:9  When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, 

Job 38:10  And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, 

Job 38:11  And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? 

Job 38:12  Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; 

Job 38:13  That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? 

Job 38:14  It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment. 

Job 38:15  And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. 

Job 38:16  Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? 

Job 38:17  Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death? 

Job 38:18  Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all. 

Job 38:19  Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof, 

Job 38:20  That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof? 

Job 38:21  Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great? 

Job 38:22  Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, 

Job 38:23  Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? 

Job 38:24  By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth? 

Job 38:25  Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; 

Job 38:26  To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; 

Job 38:27  To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? 

Job 38:28  Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? 

Job 38:29  Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? 

Job 38:30  The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. 

Job 38:31  Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

Job 38:34  Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? 

Job 38:35  Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are? 

Job 38:36  Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? 

Job 38:37  Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, 

Job 38:38  When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? 

Job 38:39  Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, 

Job 38:40  When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? 

Job 38:41  Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat. 

 

Job 39:1  Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? 

Job 39:2  Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? 

Job 39:3  They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. 

Job 39:4  Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. 

Job 39:5  Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

Job 39:13  Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich? 

Job 39:14  Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, 

Job 39:15  And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. 

Job 39:16  She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear; 

Job 39:17  Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding. 

Job 39:18  What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

2Co 4:13  We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 

2Co 4:14  Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 

2Co 4:15  For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 

2Co 4:16  For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 

2Co 4:17  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 

2Co 4:18  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 

 

2Co 5:1  For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 

2Co 5:2  For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 

2Co 5:3  If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 

2Co 5:4  For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 

2Co 5:5  Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 

2Co 5:6  Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 

2Co 5:7  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 

2Co 5:8  We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 

2Co 5:9  Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 

2Co 5:10  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 

 

Psa 44:9  But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. 

Psa 44:10  Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. 

Psa 44:11  Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. 

Psa 44:12  Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. 

Psa 44:13  Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 

Psa 44:14  Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 

Psa 44:15  My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, 

Psa 44:16  For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. 

Psa 44:17  All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 

Psa 44:18  Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 

Psa 44:19  Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 

Psa 44:20  If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; 

Psa 44:21  Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 

Psa 44:22  Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. 

Psa 44:23  Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. 

Psa 44:24  Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? 

Psa 44:25  For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. 

Psa 44:26  Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. 

 

Pro 22:13  The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
