5:17 “Therefore, blessed is the man whom God corrects,
so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
6:26 Do you intend to criticize mere words,
and treat the words of a despairing man as wind?
7:16 I loathe it; I do not want to live forever;
leave me alone, for my days are a vapor!
8:9 For we were born yesterday and do not have knowledge,
since our days on earth are but a shadow.
10:2 I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me;
tell me why you are contending with me.’
11:8 It is higher than the heavens – what can you do?
It is deeper than Sheol – what can you know?
11:14 if iniquity is in your hand – put it far away,
and do not let evil reside in your tents.
16:18 “O earth, do not cover my blood,
nor let there be a secret place for my cry.
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?’
23:8 “If I go to the east, he is not there,
and to the west, yet I do not perceive him.
24:1 “Why are times not appointed by the Almighty?
Why do those who know him not see his days?
26:8 He locks the waters in his clouds,
and the clouds do not burst with the weight of them.
27:12 If you yourselves have all seen this,
Why in the world do you continue this meaningless talk?
27:15 Those who survive him are buried by the plague,
and their widows do not mourn for them.
27:19 He goes to bed wealthy, but will do so no more.
When he opens his eyes, it is all gone.
30:20 I cry out to you, but you do not answer me;
I stand up, and you only look at me.
31:14 then what will I do when God confronts me in judgment;
when he intervenes,
how will I respond to him?
32:16 And I have waited. But because they do not speak,
because they stand there and answer no more,
33:13 Why do you contend against him,
that he does not answer all a person’s words?
34:17 Do you really think
that one who hates justice can govern?
And will you declare guilty
the supremely righteous One,
34:32 Teach me what I cannot see.
If I have done evil, I will do so no more.’
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?
36:18 Be careful that no one entices you with riches;
do not let a large bribe turn you aside.
36:21 Take heed, do not turn to evil,
for because of this you have been tested by affliction.
37:16 Do you know about the balancing of the clouds,
that wondrous activity of him who is perfect in knowledge?
38:33 Do you know the laws of the heavens,
or can you set up their rule over the earth?
39:4 Their young grow strong, and grow up in the open;
they go off, and do not return to them.
40:9 Do you have an arm as powerful as God’s,
and can you thunder with a voice like his?
41:8 If you lay your hand on it,
you will remember the fight,
and you will never do it again!
