Bible Verses About God

because God has deprived it of wisdom and given it no share in understanding.

When the time comes, it flaps its wings, scorning both horse and rider.

"Did you give the horse its strength? Did you clothe its neck with a mane?

Did you make him able to leap like a locust? Its majestic snorting is frightening!

It paws with force and exults with vigor, then charges into the battle;

mocking at fear, unafraid, it does not shy away from the sword.

The [rider's] quiver rattles over it, [his] gleaming spear and javelin.

Frenzied and eager, it devours the ground, scarcely believing the shofar has sounded.

At the sound of the shofar it whinnies; as from afar it scents the battle, the roar of the chiefs and the shouting.

"Is it your wisdom that sets the hawk soaring, spreading its wings toward the south?

Does the eagle fly up when you say so, to build its nest in the heights?

It lives and spends its nights on the cliffs; a rocky crag is its fortress.

From there it spots its prey, its eyes see it far off.

Its young ones suck up blood; wherever the slain are, there it is."

Continuing to address Iyov, ADONAI said:

"Does the critic still want to dispute Shaddai? Let him who wants to correct God give an answer!"

Then Iyov replied to ADONAI:

"I am too ashamed; I have nothing to say. I lay my hand over my mouth.

Yes, I spoke once, but I won't answer more; all right, twice, but I won't go on."

ADONAI answered Iyov out of the storm:

"Stand up like a man, and brace yourself; I will ask questions; and you, give the answers!

"Are you impugning my justice? Putting me in the wrong to prove yourself right?

Do you have an arm like God's? Can you thunder with a voice like his?

Come on, deck yourself with majesty and dignity, robe yourself in glory and splendor.

Let loose your furious anger, look at all who are proud, and humble them.
