Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost, because his answers are like those of wicked men!

shall not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.

Search me, O Mighty God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties;

I Jehovah search the heart, I examine the soul, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

Are not mockers with me? And does not my eye dwell on their rebellion?

So then do not be mockers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of Hosts that an annihilation is decreed upon the whole earth.

Do not be led astray, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap eternal life.
