3:4 That day – let it be darkness;
let not God on high regard it,
nor let light shine on it!
3:23 Why is light given to a man
whose way is hidden,
and whom God has hedged in?
4:17 “Is a mortal man righteous before God?
Or a man pure before his Creator?
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.’
11:5 But if only God would speak,
if only he would open his lips against you,
15:13 when you turn your rage against God
and allow such words to escape from your mouth?
16:11 God abandons me to evil men,
and throws me into the hands of wicked men.
16:20 My intercessor is my friend
as my eyes pour out tears to God;
16:21 and he contends with God on behalf of man
as a man pleads for his friend.
18:21 ‘Surely such is the residence of an evil man;
and this is the place of one who has not known God.’”
19:6 know then that God has wronged me
and encircled me with his net.
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.
20:28 A flood will carry off his house,
rushing waters on the day of God’s wrath.
21:14 So they say to God, ‘Turn away from us!
We do not want to know your ways.
21:22 Can anyone teach God knowledge,
since he judges those that are on high?
22:2 “Is it to God that a strong man is of benefit?
Is it to him that even a wise man is profitable?
22:12 “Is not God on high in heaven?
And see the lofty stars, how high they are!
22:13 But you have said, ‘What does God know?
Does he judge through such deep darkness?
22:26 Surely then you will delight yourself in the Almighty,
and will lift up your face toward God.
25:4 How then can a human being be righteous before God?
How can one born of a woman be pure?
29:2 “O that I could be as I was
in the months now gone,
in the days when God watched over me,
31:6 let him weigh me with honest scales;
then God will discover my integrity.
31:28 then this also would be iniquity to be judged,
for I would have been false to God above.
33:12 Now in this, you are not right – I answer you,
for God is greater than a human being.
33:14 “For God speaks, the first time in one way,
the second time in another,
though a person does not perceive it.
33:29 “Indeed, God does all these things,
twice, three times, in his dealings with a person,
34:5 For Job says, ‘I am innocent,
but God turns away my right.
34:9 For he says, ‘It does not profit a man
when he makes his delight with God.’
34:23 For he does not still consider a person,
that he should come before God in judgment.
36:5 Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people,
he is mighty, and firm in his intent.
37:5 God thunders with his voice in marvelous ways;
he does great things beyond our understanding.
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!”
