Ephesians 5:8-20

 

Ephesians 5:8-20

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light

9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)

10 and find out what pleases the Lord.

11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.

14 This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,

16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,

19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,

20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My Daily Bible Read-Mark 7

    

Mark 7

1 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus
2 and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.
3 (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4 When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.)

5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?”

6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’

8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”

9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[c] your own traditions!

10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’

11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)—

12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother.

13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.

15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” [16] [f]

17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.

18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?

19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)

20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.

21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,

22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.

23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret.
25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet.
26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29 Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”

30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.

33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue.

34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”).

35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.

36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it.

37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

Mark 8

 

Mark 8

1 During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said,

2 “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat.

3 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”

4 His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?”

5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied.

6 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people, and they did so.

7 They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them.

8 The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

9 About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away,

10 he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven.

12 He sighed deeply and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.”

13 Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.

14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
15 “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.”

16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”

17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember?

19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied.

20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”

21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”

22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”

24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”

25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.

26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into the village.”

27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”

28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”

29 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”

30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.

31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.
32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.
36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Ecclesiastes 7

 

Ecclesiastes 7

1 A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth.

2 It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone;
the living should take this to heart.

3 Frustration is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart.

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.

5 It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools.

6 Like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of fools. This too is meaningless.

7 Extortion turns a wise person into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the heart.

8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.

9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.

10 Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions.

11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and benefits those who see the sun.

12 Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it.

13 Consider what God has done: Who can straighten
what he has made crooked?

14 When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.

15 In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: the righteous perishing in their righteousness,
and the wicked living long in their wickedness.

16 Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise—why destroy yourself?

17 Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool—
why die before your time?

18 It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other.
Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.

19 Wisdom makes one wise person more powerful than ten rulers in a city.

20 Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous,
no one who does what is right and never sins.

21 Do not pay attention to every word people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you—

22 for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.

23 All this I tested by wisdom and I said, “I am determined to be wise”—but this was beyond me.

24 Whatever exists is far off and most profound—who can discover it?

25 So I turned my mind to understand, to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the madness of folly.

26 I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare.

27 “Look,” says the Teacher, “this is what I have discovered: “Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things—

28 while I was still searching but not finding—I found one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them all.

29 This only have I found: God created mankind upright,
but they have gone in search of many schemes.”

Ecclesiastes 8

 

Ecclesiastes 8

1 Who is like the wise? Who knows the explanation of things? A person’s wisdom brightens their face and changes its hard appearance.

2 Obey the king’s command, I say, because you took an oath before God.
3 Do not be in a hurry to leave the king’s presence. Do not stand up for a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases.
4 Since a king’s word is supreme, who can say to him, “What are you doing?

5 Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm,
and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure.

6 For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a person may be weighed down by misery.

7 Since no one knows the future, who can tell someone else what is to come?

8 As no one has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has power over the time of their death. As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.

9 All this I saw, as I applied my mind to everything done under the sun. There is a time when a man lords it over others to his own hurt.

10 Then too, I saw the wicked buried—those who used to come and go from the holy place and receive praise in the city where they did this. This too is meaningless.

11 When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.

12 Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time, I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.

13 Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow.

14 There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: the righteous who get what the wicked deserve, and the wicked who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless.

15 So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun.

16 When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the labor that is done on earth—people getting no sleep day or night—

17 then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.

Job 35

 

Job 35

1 Then Elihu said:

2 “Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am in the right, not God.’

3 Yet you ask him, ‘What profit is it to me, and what do I gain by not sinning?’

4 “I would like to reply to you and to your friends with you.

5 Look up at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds so high above you.

6 If you sin, how does that affect him? If your sins are many, what does that 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 only affects humans like yourself,
and your righteousness only other people.

9 “People cry out under a load of oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the powerful.

10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,

11 who teaches us more than he teaches the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds in the sky?’

12 He does not answer when people cry out because of the arrogance of the wicked.

13 Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea; the Almighty pays no attention to it.

14 How much less, then, will he listen when you say that you do not see him, that your case is before him and you must wait for him,

15 and further, that his anger never punishes and he does not take the least notice of wickedness.

16 So Job opens his mouth with empty talk; without knowledge he multiplies words.”

Job 36

 

Job 36

1 Elihu continued:

2 “Bear with me a little longer and I will show you that there is more to be said in God’s behalf.

3 I get my knowledge from afar; I will ascribe justice to my Maker.

4 Be assured that my words are not false; one who has perfect knowledge is with you.

5 “God is mighty, but despises no one; he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.

6 He does not keep the wicked alive but gives the afflicted their rights.

7 He does not take his eyes off the righteous; he enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.

8 But if people are bound in chains, held fast by cords of affliction,

9 he tells them what they have done—that they have sinned arrogantly.

10 He makes them listen to correction and commands them to repent of their evil.

11 If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.

12 But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword
and die without knowledge.

13 “The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.

14 They die in their youth, among male prostitutes of the shrines.

15 But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering;
he speaks to them in their affliction.

16 “He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.

17 But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have taken hold of you.

18 Be careful that no one entices you by riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside.

19 Would your wealth or even all your mighty efforts
sustain you so you would not be in distress?

20 Do not long for the night, to drag people away from their homes.

21 Beware of turning to evil, which you seem to prefer to affliction.

22 “God is exalted in his power.Who is a teacher like him?

23 Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him, ‘You have done wrong’?

24 Remember to extol his work, which people have praised in song.

25 All humanity has seen it; mortals gaze on it from afar.

26 How great is God—beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.

27 “He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams;

28 the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.

29 Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds,
how he thunders from his pavilion?

30 See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea.

31 This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance.

32 He fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.

33 His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cattle make known its approach.

Judi McLeod Hits It Right About The Donkey Party.

 

We really should start calling the Democrats what they are The Donkey Party. They don’t stand up for Democracy any more. They stand up for socialism.

The Braying of the Donkeys by Judi McLeod over at Canada Free Press

Jim Messina, Obama for America Campaign Manager didn’t get much sleep last night.  Sleepless donkeys began braying.

At 4:42 a.m. EST, Messina sent an email to all, subject line: “What Paul Ryan said”.

In that wee hour telling email, Messina came right out and claimed the Obama regime’s utter ownership of the mainstream media:

“If you’ve seen any coverage of Paul Ryan’s speech in Tampa, you know that the consensus among journalists and independent observers is that it was…factually challenged.” (See email below).

“The consensus among journalists?”

Now the Obama team not only owns the MSM, they openly brag about it.

Obama recently claimed he wasn’t tuning in on any of the Republican National Convention (RNC), but Messina at 4:42 a.m., and David Axelrod, before him at the stroke of midnight, were trying in desperation to pull the Obama campaign out of its noisy nosedive.

The campaign, which recently upped its contribution request from grassroots little folk, from $3 to $5 is running scared.

But donkeys are more legendary for braying than they are for their speed in races.

If there is one thing the Obama 2012 Reelection campaign has proved is that negativity is a dead end street.

With 23 million Americans now actively seeking work, the Democratic heresy that the Republicans are anti-women and are out to get the elderly, is falling on mostly deaf ears.  Under the Obama administration, most Americans are living in the negative world the Dems have created and are just trying to get by.

Republican candidate for vice president Paul Ryan couldn’t have been more on the mark when he talked about how out-of-work young people who have returned to the bedrooms of their parents’ houses looking up at fading Barack Obama posters deserve better.

The Democrats failed in their treacherous efforts to drown the RNC.

    I Won’t Have Any Post Up Tomorrow

     

     

    I usually do my post the day before then post them the following day.

     

    I had an eye doctor appointment this morning (8-29-2012). He put drops in my eyes to dilate my eyes. I have been struggling to read and checking my typing because it. So I am taking the rest of day off.

     

    The post I usually put up on like my bible read and “they don’t make comedians like this anymore” Thursday will be put up on Friday.

    James 1:19-27

     

    James 1:19-27

    19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

    20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

    21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

    22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

    23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror

    24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

    25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

    26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.

    27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

    My Daily Bible Read-Mark 6

     

    Mark 6

    1 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples.

    2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing?

    3 Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.

    4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.”

    5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.

    6 He was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.

    7 Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits.

    8 These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts.

    9 Wear sandals but not an extra shirt.

    10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town.

    11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

    12 They went out and preached that people should repent.

    13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.

    14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

    15 Others said, “He is Elijah.” And still others claimed, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago.”

    16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!”

    17 For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married.

    18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

    19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to,

    20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him.

    21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

    22 When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.”

    23 And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”

    24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” “The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.

    25 At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

    26 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her.

    27 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison,

    28 and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.

    29 On hearing of this, John’s disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

    30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.
    31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

    32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.

    33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

    34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

    35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late.

    36 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

    37 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”

    38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

    39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.

    40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

    41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

    42 They all ate and were satisfied,

    43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

    44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.

    45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.
    46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.

    47 Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land.

    48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them,

    49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out,

    50 because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

    51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed,

    52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.

    53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there.

    54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus.

    55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.

    56 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

    Ecclesiastes 6

     

    Ecclesiastes 6

    1 I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on mankind:

    2 God gives some people wealth, possessions and honor, so that they lack nothing their hearts desire, but God does not grant them the ability to enjoy them, and strangers enjoy them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil.

    3 A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.

    4 It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded.

    5 Though it never saw the sun or knew anything, it has more rest than does that man—

    6 even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?

    7 Everyone’s toil is for their mouth, yet their appetite is never satisfied.

    8 What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?

    9 Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

    10 Whatever exists has already been named, and what humanity is has been known; no one can contend
    with someone who is stronger.

    11 The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?

    12 For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?

    Job 34

     

    Job 34

    1 Then Elihu said:

    2 “Hear my words, you wise men; listen to me, you men of learning.

    3 For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food.

    4 Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.

    5 “Job says, ‘I am innocent,  but God denies me justice.

    6 Although I am right, I am considered a liar; although I am guiltless, his arrow inflicts an incurable wound.’

    7 Is there anyone like Job, who drinks scorn like water?

    8 He keeps company with evildoers; he associates with the wicked.

    9 For he says, ‘There is no profit in trying to please God.’

    10 “So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong.

    11 He repays everyone for what they have done; he brings on them what their conduct deserves.

    12 It is unthinkable that God would do wrong, that the Almighty would pervert justice.

    13 Who appointed him over the earth? Who put him in charge of the whole world?

    14 If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath,

    15 all humanity would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.

    16 “If you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I say.

    17 Can someone who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One?

    18 Is he not the One who says to kings, ‘You are worthless,’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’

    19 who shows no partiality to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?

    20 They die in an instant, in the middle of the night; the people are shaken and they pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.

    21 “His eyes are on the ways of mortals; he sees their every step.

    22 There is no deep shadow, no utter darkness, where evildoers can hide.

    23 God has no need to examine people further, that they should come before him for judgment.

    24 Without inquiry he shatters the mighty and sets up others in their place.

    25 Because he takes note of their deeds, he overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.

    26 He punishes them for their wickedness where everyone can see them,

    27 because they turned from following him and had no regard for any of his ways.

    28 They caused the cry of the poor to come before him,
    so that he heard the cry of the needy.

    29 But if he remains silent, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, who can see him? Yet he is over individual and nation alike,

    30 to keep the godless from ruling, from laying snares for the people.

    31 “Suppose someone says to God, ‘I am guilty but will offend no more.

    32 Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do so again.’

    33 Should God then reward you on your terms, when you refuse to repent? You must decide, not I; so tell me what you know.

    34 “Men of understanding declare, wise men who hear me say to me,

    35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’

    36 Oh, that Job might be tested to the utmost for answering like a wicked man!

    37 To his sin he adds rebellion; scornfully he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”
