Job 1:8-12

8 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you ^aconsidered my ^bservant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, ^ca blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?” 9 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for no reason? 10 Have you not put ^da hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have ^eblessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But ^fstretch out your hand and ^gtouch all that he has, and he will ^hcurse you ⁱto your face.” 12 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.

Job 2:3-6

3 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 ^jholds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him ^kwithout reason.” 4 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But ^lstretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will ^mcurse you to your face.” 6 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life.”

Job 21:27

27 “Behold, I know your thoughts
and your schemes to wrong me.

Job 22:5-30

5 Is not your evil abundant?
There is no end to your iniquities.
6 For you have ⁿexacted pledges of your brothers for nothing
^oand stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have given no water to the weary to drink,
and you have ^pwithheld bread from the hungry.
8 ^qThe man with power possessed the land,
and ^rthe favored man lived in it.
9 You have ^ssent widows away empty,
and ^tthe arms of ^uthe fatherless were crushed.
10 Therefore ^vsnares are all around you,
and sudden terror overwhelms you,
11 or ^wdarkness, so that you cannot see,
and a ^xflood of ^ywater covers you.
12 “Is not God high in the heavens?
See ^zthe highest stars, how lofty they are!
13 But you say, ^aa‘What does God know?
Can he judge through ^abthe deep darkness?
14 ^acThick clouds veil him, so that he does not see,
and he walks on the vault of heaven.’
15 Will you keep to the old way
that wicked men have trod?
16 They were snatched away ^adbefore their time;
their foundation was washed away.
17 They said to God, ^ae‘Depart from us,’
and ^af‘What can the Almighty do to us?’ ^{▼▼Hebrew them}
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things—
but ^ahthe counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 ^aiThe righteous see it and are glad;
the innocent one ^ajmocks at them,
20 saying, ‘Surely our adversaries are cut off,
and what they left ^akthe fire has consumed.’
21 ^al“Agree with God, and ^ambe at peace;
thereby good will come to you.
22 Receive instruction from ^anhis mouth,
and ^aolay up his words in your heart.
23 If you ^apreturn to the Almighty you will be ^aqbuilt up;
if you ^arremove injustice far from your tents,
24 if you lay gold in ^asthe dust,
and gold of ^atOphir among the stones of the torrent-bed,
25 then the Almighty will be your gold
and your precious silver.
26 For then you ^auwill delight yourself in the Almighty
and ^avlift up your face to God.
27 You will ^awmake your prayer to him, and he will hear you,
and you will ^axpay your vows.
28 You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
and ^aylight will shine on your ways.
29 For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’; ^{▼▼Or you say, ‘It is exaltation’}
but he saves ^bathe lowly.
30 He ^bbdelivers even the one who is not innocent,
who will be delivered through ^bcthe cleanness of your hands.”

Job 32:3

3 He burned with anger also at Job’s three friends because they had found no answer, although they had ^bddeclared Job to be in the wrong.

Job 42:7

The Lord Rebukes Job’s Friends

7 After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz ^bethe Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.

Ecclesiastes 9:1-2

Death Comes to All

1 But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, ^bfhow the righteous and the wise and their deeds are ^bgin the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him. 2 ^bhIt is the same for all, since ^bithe same event happens to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew lacks 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 ^bkswears is as he who shuns an oath.

Luke 13:2-5

2 And he answered them, ^bl“Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? 3 No, I tell you; but unless you ^bmrepent, you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in ^bnSiloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? 5 No, I tell you; but unless you ^borepent, you will all likewise perish.”
