Through My Bible Yr 1 – August 1
Bible reading based on Job 11-12 (NIV84) 1Then Zophar the Naamathite replied: 2 “Are all these words to go unanswered? 3 Will your idle talk reduce men to silence? 4 You say to God, ‘My beliefs are flawless
5 Oh, how I wish that God would speak, 6 and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, 7 “Can you fathom the mysteries of God? 8 They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? 9 Their measure is longer than the earth
10 “If he comes along and confines you in prison 11 Surely he recognizes deceitful men; 12 But a witless man can no more become wise 13 “Yet if you devote your heart to him 14 if you put away the sin that is in your hand 15 then you will lift up your face without shame; 16 You will surely forget your trouble, 17 Life will be brighter than noonday, 18 You will be secure, because there is hope; 19 You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, 20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, 1Then Job replied: 2 “Doubtless you are the people, 3 But I have a mind as well as you; 4 “I have become a laughingstock to my friends, 5 Men at ease have contempt for misfortune 6 The tents of marauders are undisturbed, 7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, 8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, 9 Which of all these does not know 10 In his hand is the life of every creature 11 Does not the ear test words 12 Is not wisdom found among the aged? 13 “To God belong wisdom and power; 14 What he tears down cannot be rebuilt; 15 If he holds back the waters, there is drought; 16 To him belong strength and victory; 17 He leads counselors away stripped 18 He takes off the shackles put on by kings 19 He leads priests away stripped 20 He silences the lips of trusted advisers 21 He pours contempt on nobles 22 He reveals the deep things of darkness 23 He makes nations great, and destroys them; 24 He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason; 25 They grope in darkness with no light; Through My Bible – August 1

Zophar
Is this talker to be vindicated?
Will no one rebuke you when you mock?
and I am pure in your sight.’
that he would open his lips against you
for true wisdom has two sides.
Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.
Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
They are deeper than the depths of the grave [a]—what can you know?
and wider than the sea.
and convenes a court, who can oppose him?
and when he sees evil, does he not take note?
than a wild donkey’s colt can be born a man. [b]
and stretch out your hands to him,
and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
you will stand firm and without fear.
recalling it only as waters gone by.
and darkness will become like morning.
you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
and many will court your favor.
and escape will elude them;
their hope will become a dying gasp.”Job 12
Job
and wisdom will die with you!
I am not inferior to you.
Who does not know all these things?
though I called upon God and he answered—
a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!
as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.
and those who provoke God are secure—
those who carry their god in their hands. [c]
or the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
or let the fish of the sea inform you.
that the hand of the LORD has done this?
and the breath of all mankind.
as the tongue tastes food?
Does not long life bring understanding?
counsel and understanding are his.
the man he imprisons cannot be released.
if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.
both deceived and deceiver are his.
and makes fools of judges.
and ties a loincloth [d]around their waist.
and overthrows men long established.
and takes away the discernment of elders.
and disarms the mighty.
and brings deep shadows into the light.
he enlarges nations, and disperses them.
he sends them wandering through a trackless waste.
he makes them stagger like drunkards.
