• Job 35 (1:05)

Job 35 1 Then Elihu continued and said, 2 "Do you think this is according to justice ? Do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's '? 3 "For you say, 'What advantage will it be to You? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned ?' 4 "I will answer you, And your friends with you. 5 "Look at the heavens and see ; And behold the clouds -they are higher than you. 6 "If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him? And if your transgressions are many, what do you do to Him? 7 "If you are righteous, what do you give to Him, Or what does He receive from your hand ? 8 "Your wickedness is for a man like yourself, And your righteousness is for a son of man. 9 "Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty. 10 "But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night, 11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens ?' 12 "There they cry out, but He does not answer Because of the pride of evil men. 13 "Surely God will not listen to an empty cry, Nor will the Almighty regard it. 14 "How much less when you say you do not behold Him, The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him! 15 "And now, because He has not visited in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression well, 16 So Job opens his mouth emptily ; He multiplies words without knowledge."

• Job 36 (2:09)

Job 36 1 Then Elihu continued and said, 2 "Wait for me a little, and I will show you That there is yet more to be said in God's behalf. 3 "I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. 4 "For truly my words are not false ; One who is perfect in knowledge is with you. 5 "Behold, God is mighty but does not despise any; He is mighty in strength of understanding. 6 "He does not keep the wicked alive, But gives justice to the afflicted. 7 "He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous ; But with kings on the throne He has seated them forever, and they are exalted. 8 "And if they are bound in fetters, And are caught in the cords of affliction, 9 Then He declares to them their work And their transgressions, that they have magnified themselves. 10 "He opens their ear to instruction, And commands that they return from evil. 11 "If they hear and serve Him, They will end their days in prosperity And their years in pleasures. 12 "But if they do not hear, they shall perish by the sword And they will die without knowledge. 13 "But the godless in heart lay up anger ; They do not cry for help when He binds them. 14 "They die in youth, And their life perishes among the cult prostitutes. 15 "He delivers the afflicted in their affliction, And opens their ear in time of oppression. 16 "Then indeed, He enticed you from the mouth of distress, Instead of it, a broad place with no constraint ; And that which was set on your table was full of fatness. 17 "But you were full of judgment on the wicked ; Judgment and justice take hold of you. 18 "Beware that wrath does not entice you to scoffing ; And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside. 19 "Will your riches keep you from distress, Or all the forces of your strength ? 20 "Do not long for the night, When people vanish in their place. 21 "Be careful, do not turn to evil, For you have preferred this to affliction. 22 "Behold, God is exalted in His power ; Who is a teacher like Him? 23 "Who has appointed Him His way, And who has said, 'You have done wrong '? 24 "Remember that you should exalt His work, Of which men have sung. 25 "All men have seen it; Man beholds from afar. 26 "Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him; The number of His years is unsearchable . 27 "For He draws up the drops of water, They distill rain from the mist, 28 Which the clouds pour down, They drip upon man abundantly. 29 "Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds, The thundering of His pavilion ? 30 "Behold, He spreads His lightning about Him, And He covers the depths of the sea. 31 "For by these He judges peoples ; He gives food in abundance. 32 "He covers His hands with the lightning, And commands it to strike the mark. 33 "Its noise declares His presence ; The cattle also, concerning what is coming up.

• 2 John 1 (1:09)

2 John 1 1 The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth ; and not only I, but also all who know the truth, 2 for the sake of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever : 3 Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 4 I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father. 5 Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward. 9 Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God ; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting ; 11 for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds. 12 Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink ; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that your joy may be made full. 13 The children of your chosen sister greet you.

• Romans 14 (1:57)

Romans 14 1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. 2 One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. 3 The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him. 4 Who are you to judge the servant of another ? To his own master he stands or falls ; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. 5 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God ; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God. 7 For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself ; 8 for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord ; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. 10 But you, why do you judge your brother ? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt ? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11 For it is written, "AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD." 12 So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this -not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way. 14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself ; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil ; 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another. 20 Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense. 21 It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles. 22 The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. 23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith ; and whatever is not from faith is sin. [[slnc 10000]]
