God
Verses Mentioning God
when I was in my prime, when the friendship of God rested on my tent,
when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,
I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.
You have ruthlessly turned on me; You oppose me with Your strong hand.
You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.
Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.
Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.
For what is the allotment of God from above, or the heritage from the Almighty on high?
Does He not see my ways and count my every step?
let God weigh me with honest scales, that He may know my integrity.
what will I do when God rises to judge? How will I answer when called to account?
Did not He who made me in the womb also make them? Did not the same One form us in the womb?
For calamity from God terrifies me, and His splendor I cannot overpower.
this would also be an iniquity to be judged, for I would have denied God on high.
(Oh, that I had one to hear me! Here is my signature. Let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser compose an indictment.
I would give account of all my steps; I would approach Him like a prince.)—
This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,
But there is a spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
I am just like you before God; I was also formed from clay.
Yet God finds occasions against me; He counts me as His enemy.
He puts my feet in the stocks; He watches over all my paths.’
Behold, you are not right in this matter. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.
Why do you complain to Him that He answers nothing a man asks?
