Job 2:10

10But he said to her, “You speak as one of the afoolish women would speak. bShall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?”
Or disaster; also verse 11
dIn all this Job did not esin with his lips.

Job 3:3-26

3 f“Let the day perish on which I was born,
and the night that said,
‘A man is conceived.’
4Let that day be darkness!
May God above not seek it,
nor light shine upon it.
5Let gloom and gdeep darkness claim it.
Let clouds dwell upon it;
let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6That night—let thick darkness seize it!
Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;
let it not come into the number of the months.
7Behold, let that night be barren;
let no joyful cry enter it.
8Let those curse it who curse the day,
who are ready to rouse up hLeviathan.
9Let the stars of its dawn be dark;
let it hope for light, but have none,
nor see ithe eyelids of the morning,
10because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb,
nor hide trouble from my eyes.
11 Why jdid I not die at birth,
come out from the womb and expire?
12Why did kthe knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
13For then I would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,
14with kings and counselors of the earth
who lrebuilt ruins for themselves,
15or with princes who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.
16Or why was I not as a hidden mstillborn child,
as infants who never see the light?
17There the wicked cease from troubling,
and there the weary are at nrest.
18There the prisoners are at ease together;
they hear not the voice of othe taskmaster.
19The small and the great are there,
and the slave is free from his master.
20 Why is light given to him who is in misery,
and life to pthe bitter in soul,
21who qlong for death, but it comes not,
and dig for it more than for rhidden treasures,
22who rejoice exceedingly
and are glad when they find the grave?
23Why is light given to a man whose sway is hidden,
whom God has thedged in?
24For my sighing comes uinstead of
Or like; Hebrew before
my bread,
and my wgroanings are poured out like water.
25 xFor the thing that I fear comes upon me,
and what I dread befalls me.
26I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
I have no rest, but trouble comes.”

Job 4:3-4

3Behold, you have instructed many,
and you have ystrengthened the weak hands.
4Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,
and you have zmade firm the feeble knees.

Job 34:3-9

3for aathe ear tests words
as the palate tastes food.
4Let us choose abwhat is right;
let us know among ourselves what is good.
5For Job has said, ‘I am acin the right,
and adGod has taken away my right;
6in spite of my right I am counted a liar;
my wound is incurable, though I am aewithout transgression.’
7What man is like Job,
who afdrinks up scoffing like water,
8who travels in company with evildoers
and walks agwith wicked men?
9For ahhe has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
that he should take delight in God.’

Job 38:2

2 Who is this that aidarkens counsel by words ajwithout knowledge?

Job 40:5

5I have spoken akonce, and I will not answer;
altwice, but I will proceed no further.”

Job 40:8

8Will you even put me in the wrong?
Will you condemn me that amyou may be in the right?

Job 42:3

3 anWho is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
things aotoo wonderful for me, which I did not know.

Job 42:7

The Lord Rebukes Job’s Friends

7After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz apthe 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.

37for aqby your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
