  • Job 22:5-9 : 5 Isn't your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities. 6 For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, And stripped the naked of their clothing. 7 You haven't given water to the weary to drink, And you have withheld bread from the hungry. 8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it. 9 You have sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken. 10 Therefore snares are round about you. Sudden fear troubles you, 11 Or darkness, so that you can not see, And floods of waters cover you. 12 "Isn't God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are! 13 You say, 'What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness? 14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn't see. He walks on the vault of the sky.' 15 Will you keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden, 16 Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream, 17 Who 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; The innocent ridicule them, 20 Saying, 'Surely those who rose up against us are cut off, The fire has consumed the remnant of them.' 21 "Acquaint yourself with him, now, and be at peace. Thereby good shall come to you. 22 Please receive instruction from his mouth, And lay up his words in your heart. 23 If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, If you put away unrighteousness far from your tents. 24 Lay your treasure in the dust, The gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks. 25 The Almighty will be your treasure, Precious silver to you. 26 For then shall you delight yourself in the Almighty, And shall lift up your face to God. 27 You shall make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You shall pay your vows. 28 You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to you. Light shall shine on your ways. 29 When they cast down, you shall say, 'be lifted up.' He will save the humble person. 30 He will even deliver him who is not innocent; Yes, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."

Only spare his life."

    10 They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"

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

    12 Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know."

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

    14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

    15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see."

    16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.

    17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

    20 His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

    21 but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened his eyes, we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."

    22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

    23 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."

    24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."

    25 He therefore answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."

    26 They said to him again, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
