Job 1:9-11

9 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for no reason? 10 Have you not put ^aa hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have ^bblessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But ^cstretch out your hand and ^dtouch all that he has, and he will ^ecurse you ^fto your face.”

Job 2:4-6

4 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But ^gstretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will ^hcurse you to your face.” 6 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life.”

Job 22:6-30

6 For you have ⁱexacted pledges of your brothers for nothing
^jand stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have given no water to the weary to drink,
and you have ^kwithheld bread from the hungry.
8 ^lThe man with power possessed the land,
and ^mthe favored man lived in it.
9 You have ⁿsent widows away empty,
and ^othe arms of ^pthe fatherless were crushed.
10 Therefore ^qsnares are all around you,
and sudden terror overwhelms you,
11 or ^rdarkness, so that you cannot see,
and a ^sflood of ^twater covers you.
12 “Is not God high in the heavens?
See ^uthe highest stars, how lofty they are!
13 But you say, ^v‘What does God know?
Can he judge through ^wthe deep darkness?
14 ^xThick 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 ^ybefore their time;
their foundation was washed away.
17 They said to God, ^z‘Depart from us,’
and ^aa‘What can the Almighty do to us?’ ^{▼▼Hebrew them}
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things—
but ^acthe counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 ^adThe righteous see it and are glad;
the innocent one ^aemocks at them,
20 saying, ‘Surely our adversaries are cut off,
and what they left ^afthe fire has consumed.’
21 ^ag“Agree with God, and ^ahbe at peace;
thereby good will come to you.
22 Receive instruction from ^aihis mouth,
and ^ajlay up his words in your heart.
23 If you ^akreturn to the Almighty you will be ^albuilt up;
if you ^amremove injustice far from your tents,
24 if you lay gold in ^anthe dust,
and gold of ^aoOphir among the stones of the torrent-bed,
25 then the Almighty will be your gold
and your precious silver.
26 For then you ^apwill delight yourself in the Almighty
and ^aqlift up your face to God.
27 You will ^armake your prayer to him, and he will hear you,
and you will ^aspay your vows.
28 You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
and ^atlight 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 ^avthe lowly.
30 He ^awdelivers even the one who is not innocent,
who will be delivered through ^axthe cleanness of your hands.”

Job 34:8-9

8 who travels in company with evildoers
and walks ^aywith wicked men?
9 For ^azhe has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
that he should take delight in God.’

Job 42:7-9

The Lord Rebukes Job’s Friends

7 After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz ^bathe 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. 8 Now therefore take ^bbseven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and ^bcoffer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall ^bdpray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 9 ^beSo Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the Lord had told them, and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.

Psalms 35:11

11 ^bfMalicious ^{▼▼Or Violent} witnesses rise up;
they ask me of things that I do not know.

Isaiah 54:17

17 no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
^bhand their vindication ^{▼▼Or righteousness} from me, declares the Lord.”

Romans 8:1

Life in the Spirit

1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add who walk not according to the flesh (but according to the Spirit)}
