Would that Job were tried to the end, because he answers like wicked men.
Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and my mind.
You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
who travels in company with evildoers and walks with wicked men? For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should take delight in God.’
“Why are not times of judgment kept by the Almighty, and why do those who know him never see his days?
God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me;
Will you keep to the old way that wicked men have trod?
Why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power?
The tents of robbers are at peace, and those who provoke God are secure, who bring their god in their hand.
