Job 10:16

He does great things past finding out; yes, marvelous things without number.

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.

Praise be to Yahweh God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.

I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

For Yahweh says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.

Now therefore, don’t let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Yahweh; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,

Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me.

For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.

I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me.

He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.

I will also spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.

Therefore they will be like the morning mist, and like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.

He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then Yahweh said to me, “The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, among many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.

David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand.

See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself, and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.”

Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For Yahweh will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights Yahweh’s battles. Evil will not be found in you all your days.

If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,

Let me hear joy and gladness, that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

“Yet you said, ‘I am innocent. Surely his anger has turned away from me.’ “Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

If I say, I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.

“From on high has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them. He has spread a net for my feet. He has turned me back. He has made me desolate and I faint all day long.

I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.

The Lord Yahweh says: “I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples; and they will bring you up in my net.

The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.

Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.

Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?

for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?

God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall consume the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.

His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean?’ ”

Therefore Yahweh’s wrath was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.

who does great things that can’t be fathomed, marvelous things without number;

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.

As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.

“Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

In the night season my bones are pierced in me, and the pains that gnaw me take no rest.

God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.

When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

“Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.

For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.

then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it.

Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.

“Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says Yahweh, “and they will fish them up. Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.

He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppression, and because of his fierce anger.

They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.

“You, son of man, the Lord Yahweh says to the land of Israel, ‘An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land.

I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.

I will enter into judgment with him with pestilence and with blood. I will rain on him, and on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, an overflowing shower, with great hailstones, fire, and sulfur.

They will walk after Yahweh, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.

He said: “Yahweh will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither.”

“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Don’t prophesy!’

This will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike all the peoples who have fought against Jerusalem: their flesh will consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will consume away in their sockets, and their tongue will consume away in their mouth.

For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about; for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me if I don’t preach the Good News.

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

then Yahweh will make your plagues and the plagues of your offspring fearful, even great plagues, and of long duration, and severe sicknesses, and of long duration.

David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.

David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”

Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your body guard, and honored in your house?

Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and didn’t kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.

Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come on a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.’ ”

For the thing which I fear comes on me, That which I am afraid of comes to me.

then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:

Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

Terrors have turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.

if the men of my tent have not said, ‘Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?’

For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,

You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.

For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves.

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.

If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.

An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

Her filthiness was in her skirts. She didn’t remember her latter end. Therefore she has come down astoundingly. She has no comforter. “See, Yahweh, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself.”

“Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought on me, with which Yahweh has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.

They hunt our steps, so that we can’t go in our streets. Our end is near. Our days are fulfilled, for our end has come.

I will spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.

For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.

“Ephraim, what shall I do to you? Judah, what shall I do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew that disappears early.

The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken. Who can but prophesy?

He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”

For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
