"Did you notice my servant Job?" the LORD asked. "There is no one on earth as faithful and good as he is. He worships me and is careful not to do anything evil. You persuaded me to let you attack him for no reason at all, but Job is still as faithful as ever."

If God took back the breath of life,

He said to me, "Watch, mortal man. Listen carefully and pay close attention to everything I show you, because this is why you were brought here. You are to tell the people of Israel everything you see."

It is different when I speak with my servant Moses; I have put him in charge of all my people Israel.

So I speak to him face-to-face, clearly and not in riddles; he has even seen my form! How dare you speak against my servant Moses?"

I have made my servant David king by anointing him with holy oil.

The LORD says, "Here is my servant, whom I strengthen--- the one I have chosen, with whom I am pleased. I have filled him with my Spirit, and he will bring justice to every nation.

(Moses was a humble man, more humble than anyone else on earth.)

Solomon was wiser than the wise men of the East or the wise men of Egypt.

He was the wisest of all men: wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol, and his fame spread throughout all the neighboring countries.

There had never been a king like him before, who served the LORD with all his heart, mind, and strength, obeying all the Law of Moses; nor has there been a king like him since.

There was a man named Job, living in the land of Uz, who worshiped God and was faithful to him. He was a good man, careful not to do anything evil.

But God will never abandon the faithful or ever give help to evil people.

(SEE 9:21)

When an innocent person suddenly dies, God laughs.

He knows that I am faultless, that I have kept myself from doing wrong.

When Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, he said about him, "Here is a real Israelite; there is nothing false in him!"

Even my friends laugh at me now; they laugh, although I am righteous and blameless; but there was a time when God answered my prayers.

Those who claim to be honest are shocked, and they all condemn me as godless.

Those who claim to be respectable are more and more convinced they are right.

I follow faithfully the road he chooses, and never wander to either side.

I always do what God commands; I follow his will, not my own desires.

The LORD is our protector and glorious king, blessing us with kindness and honor. He does not refuse any good thing to those who do what is right.

Every governor who had been in office before me had been a burden to the people and had demanded forty silver coins a day for food and wine. Even their servants had oppressed the people. But I acted differently, because I honored God.

Sin speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts; they reject God and do not have reverence for him.

To honor the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil ways and false words.

One of the criminals hanging there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!"

The other one, however, rebuked him, saying, "Don't you fear God? You received the same sentence he did.

Turn away from evil and do good; strive for peace with all your heart.

Turn away from evil and do good, and your descendants will always live in the land;

Wash yourselves clean. Stop all this evil that I see you doing. Yes, stop doing evil
