Job 17:12

He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.

so that the sights that you see with your eyes will drive you mad.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.

Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice comes out perverted.

You have wearied Yahweh with your words. Yet you say, ‘How have we wearied him?’ In that you say, ‘Everyone who does evil is good in Yahweh’s sight, and he delights in them;’ or ‘Where is the God of justice?’

He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.

In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

and the children of Israel said to them, “We wish that we had died by Yahweh’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”

“When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,

Your life will hang in doubt before you. You will be afraid night and day, and will have no assurance of your life.

In the morning you will say, “I wish it were evening!” and at evening you will say, “I wish it were morning!” for the fear of your heart which you will fear, and for the sights which your eyes will see.

and you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’ ”

When I lie down, I say, ‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’ I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.

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

He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.

You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.

I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.

My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” peoples will curse him, and nations will abhor him—

Therefore my thighs are filled with anguish. Pains have seized me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am in so much pain that I can’t hear. I so am dismayed that I can’t see.

My heart flutters. Horror has frightened me. The twilight that I desired has been turned into trembling for me.

They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.

“You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.

You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth:

Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.’

Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
