5:19 He will deliver you from six calamities;
yes, in seven no evil will touch you.
8:10 Will they not instruct you and speak to you,
and bring forth words
from their understanding?
10:4 “Do you have eyes of flesh,
or do you see as a human being sees?
10:9 Remember that you have made me as with the clay;
will you return me to dust?
10:13 “But these things you have concealed in your heart;
I know that this is with you:
11:7 “Can you discover the essence of God?
Can you find out
the perfection of the Almighty?
11:16 For you will forget your trouble;
you will remember it
like water that has flowed away.
12:2 “Without a doubt you are the people,
and wisdom will die with you.
13:2 What you know, I know also;
I am not inferior to you!
13:4 But you, however, are inventors of lies;
all of you are worthless physicians!
13:5 If only you would keep completely silent!
For you, that would be wisdom.
13:7 Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf?
Will you speak deceitfully for him?
13:8 Will you show him partiality?
Will you argue the case for God?
13:11 Would not his splendor terrify you
and the fear he inspires fall on you?
14:16 “Surely now you count my steps;
then you would not mark my sin.
15:6 Your own mouth condemns you, not I;
your own lips testify against you.
15:7 “Were you the first man ever born?
Were you brought forth before the hills?
15:8 Do you listen in on God’s secret council?
Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
16:3 Will there be an end to your windy words?
Or what provokes you that you answer?
17:4 Because you have closed their minds to understanding,
therefore you will not exalt them.
19:3 These ten times you have been reproaching me;
you are not ashamed to attack me!
19:22 Why do you pursue me like God does?
Will you never be satiated with my flesh?
21:27 “Yes, I know what you are thinking,
the schemes by which you would wrong me.
21:29 Have you never questioned those who travel the roads?
Do you not recognize their accounts –
22:4 Is it because of your piety that he rebukes you
and goes to judgment with you?
22:7 You gave the weary no water to drink
and from the hungry you withheld food.
22:9 you sent widows away empty-handed,
and the arms of the orphans you crushed.
22:10 That is why snares surround you,
and why sudden fear terrifies you,
22:11 why it is so dark you cannot see,
and why a flood of water covers you.
26:2 “How you have helped the powerless!
How you have saved the person who has no strength!
30:21 You have become cruel to me;
with the strength of your hand you attack me.
33:7 Therefore no fear of me should terrify you,
nor should my pressure be heavy on you.
33:33 If not, you listen to me;
be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
34:2 “Listen to my words, you wise men;
hear me, you learned men.
35:2 “Do you think this to be just:
when you say, ‘My right before God.’
35:3 But you say, ‘What will it profit you,’
and, ‘What do I gain by not sinning?’
35:4 I will reply to you,
and to your friends with you.
38:18 Have you considered the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know it all!
38:21 You know, for you were born before them;
and the number of your days is great!
38:34 Can you raise your voice to the clouds
so that a flood of water covers you?
39:19 “Do you give the horse its strength?
Do you clothe its neck with a mane?
40:14 Then I myself will acknowledge to you
that your own right hand can save you.
41:3 Will it make numerous supplications to you,
will it speak to you with tender words?
