2:9 Then his wife said to him, “Are you still holding firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die!”
3:4 That day – let it be darkness;
let not God on high regard it,
nor let light shine on it!
3:20 “Why does God give light to one who is in misery,
and life to those whose soul is bitter,
3:23 Why is light given to a man
whose way is hidden,
and whom God has hedged in?
4:9 By the breath of God they perish,
and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.
5:17 “Therefore, blessed is the man whom God corrects,
so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
6:8 “Oh that my request would be realized,
and that God would grant me what I long for!
6:9 And that God would be willing to crush me,
that he would let loose his hand
and kill me.
8:20 “Surely, God does not reject a blameless man,
nor does he grasp the hand
of the evildoers.
10:2 I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me;
tell me why you are contending with me.’
13:3 But I wish to speak to the Almighty,
and I desire to argue my case with God.
13:20 Only in two things spare me, O God,
and then I will not hide from your face:
15:11 Are God’s consolations too trivial for you;
or a word spoken in gentleness to you?
15:15 If God places no trust in his holy ones,
if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,
19:21 Have pity on me, my friends, have pity on me,
for the hand of God has struck me.
20:15 The wealth that he consumed he vomits up,
God will make him throw it out of his stomach.
20:23 “While he is filling his belly,
God sends his burning anger against him,
and rains down his blows upon him.
20:28 A flood will carry off his house,
rushing waters on the day of God’s wrath.
21:9 Their houses are safe and without fear;
and no rod of punishment from God is upon them.
21:14 So they say to God, ‘Turn away from us!
We do not want to know your ways.
22:17 They were saying to God, ‘Turn away from us,’
and ‘What can the Almighty do to us?’
22:21 “Reconcile yourself with God,
and be at peace with him;
in this way your prosperity will be good.
22:26 Surely then you will delight yourself in the Almighty,
and will lift up your face toward God.
24:12 From the city the dying groan,
and the wounded cry out for help,
but God charges no one with wrongdoing.
24:23 God may let them rest in a feeling of security,
but he is constantly watching all their ways.
25:4 How then can a human being be righteous before God?
How can one born of a woman be pure?
27:2 “As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice,
the Almighty, who has made my life bitter –
27:3 for while my spirit is still in me,
and the breath from God is in my nostrils,
27:8 For what hope does the godless have when he is cut off,
when God takes away his life?
27:13 This is the portion of the wicked man
allotted by God,
the inheritance that evildoers receive
from the Almighty.
29:4 just as I was in my most productive time,
when God’s intimate friendship was experienced in my tent,
30:11 Because God has untied my tent cord and afflicted me,
people throw off all restraint in my presence.
31:2 What then would be one’s lot from God above,
one’s heritage from the Almighty on high?
31:14 then what will I do when God confronts me in judgment;
when he intervenes,
how will I respond to him?
31:23 For the calamity from God was a terror to me,
and by reason of his majesty I was powerless.
31:28 then this also would be iniquity to be judged,
for I would have been false to God above.
33:6 Look, I am just like you in relation to God;
I too have been molded from clay.
33:12 Now in this, you are not right – I answer you,
for God is greater than a human being.
34:14 If God were to set his heart on it,
and gather in his spirit and his breath,
34:31 “Has anyone said to God,
‘I have endured chastisement,
but I will not act wrongly any more.
34:37 For he adds transgression to his sin;
in our midst he claps his hands,
and multiplies his words against God.”
35:6 If you sin, how does it affect God?
If your transgressions are many,
what does it do to him?
35:7 If you are righteous, what do you give to God,
or what does he receive from your hand?
35:13 Surely it is an empty cry – God does not hear it;
the Almighty does not take notice of it.
36:5 Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people,
he is mighty, and firm in his intent.
38:41 Who prepares prey for the raven,
when its young cry out to God
and wander about for lack of food?
40:2 “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him?
Let the person who accuses God give him an answer!”
40:9 Do you have an arm as powerful as God’s,
and can you thunder with a voice like his?
40:19 It ranks first among the works of God,
the One who made it
has furnished it with a sword.
