Then Jehovah said to Satan, Have you set your heart on My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil?

Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock have flourished in the land.

And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your hand; only do not stretch forth your hand upon him. So Satan went out from the presence of Jehovah.

Then Jehovah said to Satan, Have you set your heart on My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to swallow him up without cause.

But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse You to Your face!

Behold, I know your thoughts, and the plots with which you would do me wrong.

Is not your wickedness great, and your iniquities without end?

You have not given the weary water to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.

You have sent widows away empty, and crushed the arms of the fatherless.

or darkness so that you cannot see; and an abundance of water covers you.

And you say, What does the Mighty God know? Can He judge through the deep darkness?

Will you keep to the old way which wicked men have trod,

They said to the Mighty God, Depart from us! What can the Almighty do to them?

The righteous see it and are glad, and the innocent have them in derision:

Now be useful to Him, and be at peace; thereby good shall come to you.

If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up; you shall remove injustice far from your tents.

Yea, the Almighty will be your gold and your esteemed silver;

You shall make your supplication to Him, He will hear you, and you shall make good your vows.

When you have been made low, then you will say in your heart, It was pride. Then He will save the lowly of eyes.

Also against his three friends his wrath was kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

And so it was, after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath has been kindled against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.

For all this I took to heart, in order to explain it: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. No man knows, whether by love or hatred, all that is before them.

All happens alike to everyone; there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him who sacrifices, and to him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner. He who swears is as he who fears an oath.

And Jesus answered and said to them, Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things?

Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem?

So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.

When Jesus heard that, He said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.

Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; or if not, believe Me on account of the works themselves.

And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done.
