5:23 For you will have a pact with the stones of the field,
and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
6:15 My brothers have been as treacherous as a seasonal stream,
and as the riverbeds of the intermittent streams
that flow away.
12:3 I also have understanding as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
Who does not know such things as these?
14:5 Since man’s days are determined,
the number of his months is under your control;

31:7 If my footsteps have strayed from the way,
if my heart has gone after my eyes,
or if anything has defiled my hands,
31:9 If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,
31:25 if I have rejoiced because of the extent of my wealth,
or because of the great wealth my hand had gained,
31:31 if the members of my household have never said,
‘If only there were someone
who has not been satisfied from Job’s meat!’ –
33:24 and if God is gracious to him and says,
‘Spare him from going down
to the place of corruption,
I have found a ransom for him,’
33:27 That person sings to others, saying:
‘I have sinned and falsified what is right,
but I was not punished according to what I deserved.
36:2 “Be patient with me a little longer
and I will instruct you,
for I still have words to speak on God’s behalf.
42:3 you asked,
‘Who is this who darkens counsel
without knowledge?’
But I have declared without understanding
things too wonderful for me to know.
