3:16 Or why was I not buried
like a stillborn infant,
like infants who have never seen the light?
4:8 Even as I have seen, those who plow iniquity
and those who sow trouble reap the same.
5:27 Look, we have investigated this, so it is true.
Hear it, and apply it for your own good.”
6:3 But because it is heavier than the sand of the sea,
that is why my words have been wild.
6:21 For now you have become like these streams that are no help;
you see a terror, and are afraid.
6:24 “Teach me and I, for my part, will be silent;
explain to me how I have been mistaken.
7:1 “Does not humanity have hard service on earth?
Are not their days also
like the days of a hired man?
8:9 For we were born yesterday and do not have knowledge,
since our days on earth are but a shadow.
8:18 If he is uprooted from his place,
then that place will disown him, saying,
‘I have never seen you!’
14:15 You will call and I – I will answer you;
you will long for the creature you have made.
19:20 My bones stick to my skin and my flesh;
I have escaped alive with only the skin of my teeth.
23:17 Yet I have not been silent because of the darkness,
because of the thick darkness
that covered my face.
27:8 For what hope does the godless have when he is cut off,
when God takes away his life?
27:12 If you yourselves have all seen this,
Why in the world do you continue this meaningless talk?
28:22 Destruction and Death say,
‘With our ears we have heard a rumor about where it can be found.’
31:10 then let my wife turn the millstone for another man,
and may other men have sexual relations with her.
31:13 “If I have disregarded the right of my male servants
or my female servants
when they disputed with me,
31:16 If I have refused to give the poor what they desired,
or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
31:19 If I have seen anyone about to perish for lack of clothing,
or a poor man without a coat,
31:21 if I have raised my hand to vote against the orphan,
when I saw my support in the court,
31:24 “If I have put my confidence in gold
or said to pure gold,
‘You are my security!’
31:28 then this also would be iniquity to be judged,
for I would have been false to God above.
31:30 I have not even permitted my mouth to sin
by asking for his life through a curse –
32:16 And I have waited. But because they do not speak,
because they stand there and answer no more,
33:6 Look, I am just like you in relation to God;
I too have been molded from clay.
34:31 “Has anyone said to God,
‘I have endured chastisement,
but I will not act wrongly any more.
34:32 Teach me what I cannot see.
If I have done evil, I will do so no more.’
36:9 then he reveals to them what they have done,
and their transgressions,
that they were behaving proudly.
36:21 Take heed, do not turn to evil,
for because of this you have been tested by affliction.
36:23 Who has prescribed his ways for him?
Or said to him, ‘You have done what is wicked’?
38:16 Have you gone to the springs that fill the sea,
or walked about in the recesses of the deep?
40:9 Do you have an arm as powerful as God’s,
and can you thunder with a voice like his?
41:26 Whoever strikes it with a sword
will have no effect,
nor with the spear, arrow, or dart.
