Job 16:12

For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.

Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes black the day terrify it.

The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.

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

Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.

Therefore Yahweh’s word will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.

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.

It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.

Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”

If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?

He breaks me with breach on breach. He runs at me like a giant.

Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”

Yahweh will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will split it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in sandals.

Who among you fears Yahweh and obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in Yahweh’s name, and rely on his God.

“Israel is a hunted sheep. The lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him, and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”

Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

For you are my lamp, Yahweh. Yahweh will light up my darkness.

“Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Susa, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.”

Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.

You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.

I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.

Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’

Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

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.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.

In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of Yahweh of Armies’s hand, which he shakes over them.

Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.

Give glory to Yahweh your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it deep darkness.

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

He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.

The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”

Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

“Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father’s sons will bow down before you.

but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plan, which he had planned against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; but trouble comes.”

The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?

For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.

For you write bitter things against me, and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth:

But now you count my steps. Don’t you watch over my sin?

he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers,

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

Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

when his lamp shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,

You lift me up to the wind, and drive me with it. You dissolve me in the storm.

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.

‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.

He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

For with you is the spring of life. In your light we will see light.

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

though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

Yahweh God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.

Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.

For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.

It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in princes.

The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.

for there will be no reward to the evil man. The lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.

Every stroke of the rod of punishment, which Yahweh will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.

For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

Why do you go about so much to change your ways? You will be ashamed of Egypt also, as you were ashamed of Assyria.

“You have covered us with anger and pursued us. You have killed. You have not pitied.
