Job 21:24

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!

“Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Yahweh is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.

It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body.

and Yahweh will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters don’t fail.

You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. Yahweh’s hand will be known among his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.

May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,

Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.

Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your law.

Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”

Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go.”

The enemy said, ‘I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the plunder. My desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword. My hand will destroy them.’

For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.

But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he abandoned God who made him, and rejected the Rock of his salvation.

He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.

They struck at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, every strong man and every man of valor. No man escaped.

because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.

But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man among you.

“Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?

They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.

For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.

For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.

They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.

when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their fattest, and struck down the young men of Israel.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.

The life of the body is a heart at peace, but envy rots the bones.

The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Your body is like a round goblet, no mixed wine is wanting. Your waist is like a heap of wheat, set about with lilies.

From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.

Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.

They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They don’t plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they don’t defend the rights of the needy.

for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again; and I would heal them.’

For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’

For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;

These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
