God

He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will cast them out of his belly.

When he is about to fill his belly, Godwill cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, And will rain it upon him while he is eating.

The increase of his house shall depart; His goodsshall flow away in the day of his wrath.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, And the heritage appointed unto him by God.

Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.

And they say unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? That their calamity cometh upon them? ThatGod distributeth sorrows in his anger?

Ye say, God layeth up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:

Let his own eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

Shall any teach God knowledge, Seeing he judgeth those that are high?

Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself.

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gainto him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

Is it for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment?

Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

And thou sayest, What doth God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?

Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not; And he walketh on the vault of heaven.

Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?

Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee.

Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, And lay up his words in thy heart.

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.

And the Almighty will be thy treasure, And precious silver unto thee.

For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, And shalt lift up thy face unto God.

Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee; And thou shalt pay thy vows.
