Job 13:28

Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?

My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

It’s burned with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.

Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.

You will eat bread by the sweat of your face until you return to the ground, for you were taken out of it. For you are dust, and you shall return to dust.”

Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.

Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

For the Lord Yahweh will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I won’t be disappointed.

Behold, the Lord Yahweh will help me! Who is he who will condemn me? Behold, they will all grow old like a garment. The moths will eat them up.

For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.

How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes. Your defenses are defenses of clay.

“My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct, and the grave is ready for me.

For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

Behold, you have made my days hand widths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath.”

When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, you consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath.”

They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.

For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.

He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.

Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,

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.

“They will go out, and look at the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

“Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.

But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;

But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.

For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.”

Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”

They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them.

Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’

What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?

My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.

The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.

“Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good.

Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,

You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.

But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns.”

You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.

if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father;’ to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’

They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.

Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?

The womb will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.

He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.

I am a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.

My skin grows black and peels from me. My bones are burned with heat.

His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.

I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.

He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.

that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.

His work is honor and majesty. His righteousness endures forever.

Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.

Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative,

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.

For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”

Their appearance is blacker than a coal. They are not known in the streets. Their skin clings to their bones. It is withered. It has become like a stick.

Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.

For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.

and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.

They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.

for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
