  • Job 22:5-9 : 5 Is not your wickedness great and your iniquities without end? 6 For you have taken pledges from your brothers without cause, and stripped the naked of their clothing. 7 You have not given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry. 8 But the powerful man owns the land, and the honored man dwells in it. 9 You sent widows away empty-handed, and the arms of the fatherless were crushed. 10 That is why snares are all around you, and sudden terror overwhelms you. 11 It is so dark you cannot see, and a flood of waters covers you. 12 Is not God in the height of heaven? Look at the distant stars; how high they are! 13 But you say, 'What does God know? Can He judge through such thick darkness?' 14 Clouds cover Him so He cannot see as He walks on the circle of the heavens. 15 Will you keep to the ancient path that wicked men have walked? 16 They were snatched away before their time, and their foundation was swept away by a flood. 17 They said to God, 'Depart from us! What can the Almighty do to us?' 18 Yet it was He who filled their houses with good things, though the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 19 The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent mock them. 20 Surely our enemies are destroyed, and fire has consumed their wealth. 21 Be reconciled with God now, and at peace with Him; this will bring good to you. 22 Accept instruction from His mouth and place His words in your heart. 23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored. If you remove injustice far from your tent, 24 and assign your gold to the dust, and the gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines, 25 then the Almighty will be your gold and your precious silver. 26 For then you will take delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God. 27 You will pray to Him, and He will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows. 28 Whatever you decide will succeed, and light will shine on your ways. 29 When people are humbled and you say, 'Lift them up,' God will save the downcast. 30 He will even deliver one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.

You have blessed the work of his hands so that his possessions have increased in the land.' 11 'But stretch out your hand and strike all that he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.' 12 The LORD said to Satan, 'Very well, everything he has is in your power, but do not lay a hand on the man himself.'

As with the good person, so with the sinner; as with those who swear oaths, so with those who avoid them.

    10They asked him, 'Then how were your eyes opened?

    11The man replied, 'The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and then I could see.'

    12They asked him, 'Where is He?' He answered, 'I don’t know.'

    13They brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.

    14Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

    15So the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He replied, 'He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see.'

    16Some of the Pharisees said, 'This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.' But others said, 'How can a sinful man perform such signs?' So there was division among them.

    17Again they asked the blind man, 'What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?' He replied, 'He is a prophet.'

    18The Jews refused to believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned the man’s parents.

    19They asked them, 'Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? How then does he now see?'

    20His parents replied, 'We know he is our son and that he was born blind.'

    21'But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.'

    22His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jewish leaders had already decided that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

    23That was why his parents said, 'He is of age; ask him.'

    24A second time, they called for the man who had been blind and told him, 'Give glory to God! We know this man is a sinner.'

    25He answered, 'Whether He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!'

    26Then they asked him, 'What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?'

    6After saying this, He spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and spread it on the man's eyes.

    7He said to him, 'Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam' (which means 'Sent'). So the man went and washed, and he came back able to see.

    8His neighbors and those who had previously seen him begging asked, 'Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?'
