  • Job 22:5-9 : 5 Is not your wickedness great, and your iniquities infinite? 6 For you have taken a pledge from your brother for nothing, 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 as for the mighty man, he possessed the land; and the honorable man lived in it. 9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. 10 Therefore snares are all around you, and sudden fear troubles you; 11 Or darkness, that you cannot see; and an abundance of waters covers you. 12 Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are! 13 And you say, 'How does God know? Can He judge through the dense cloud? 14 Thick clouds are a covering to Him, so that He does not see; and He walks on the circuit of heaven.' 15 Have you marked the old way which wicked men have trodden, 16 Who were cut down before their time, whose foundations were swept away by a flood? 17 They said to God, 'Depart from us,' and 'What can the Almighty do for us?' 18 Yet He filled their houses with good things; but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 19 The righteous see it and are glad, and the innocent laugh them to scorn. 20 Our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumes. 21 Acquaint yourself with Him now and be at peace; thereby good will come to you. 22 Receive, I pray you, the law from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart. 23 If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, and you shall put away iniquity far from your tents. 24 Then you shall lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 25 Yes, the Almighty shall be your defense, and you shall have plenty of silver. 26 For then you shall have your delight in the Almighty, and lift up your face to God. 27 You shall make your prayer to Him, and He shall hear you, and you shall pay your vows. 28 You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established for you, and light shall shine upon your ways. 29 When they cast down, then you shall say, 'There is lifting up;' and He shall save the humble person. 30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent; and it is delivered by the purity of your hands.

You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face." 12 And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not put forth your hand on himself."

    11He answered and said, A man called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

    12Then they said to him, Where is he? He said, I do not know.

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

    14And it was the Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

    15Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.

    21But by what means he now sees, we do not know; or who has opened his eyes, we do not know: he is of age; ask him: he will speak for himself.

    22These words his parents spoke, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

    23Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him.

    24Then again they called the man who was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
