Job 10:21

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.

For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge, that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.

The congregation shall deliver the man slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he had fled. He shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.

because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the man slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

We traveled from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.

He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.

There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

Don’t let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Don’t let the pit shut its mouth on me.

a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”

All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him.

For when a few years have come, I will go the way of no return.

Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out, to the furthest bound, the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.

For I know that you will bring me to death, To the house appointed for all living.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.

For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.

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

so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.

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

to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.

For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,

You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
