Job 24:20

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.

Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.

All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.

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

Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. He has plucked my hope up like a tree.

You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

Yahweh’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth.

The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.

He cried aloud, and said this, ‘Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches! Shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit! Let the animals get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.

Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.

Even now the ax also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.”

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

“For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.

His bones are full of his youth, but youth will lie down with him in the dust.

For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.

“Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky, and saying, ‘Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”

for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.

For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that produces good fruit.

Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

Behold, he breaks down, and it can’t be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

where then is my hope? as for my hope, who will see it?

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

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

They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no memory forever, since in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die just like the fool!

If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.

When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?

“I will rise up against them,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son,” says Yahweh.

The leaves of it were beautiful, and it had much fruit, and in it was food for all. The animals of the field had shade under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.

“For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up,” says Yahweh of Armies, “that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”

For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of Yahweh’s house to the Baals.

Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem, because they didn’t bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.

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.

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.

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

But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?

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

After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,

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

My garment is disfigured by great force. It binds me about as the collar of my tunic.

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.

from men by your hand, Yahweh, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.

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

My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.

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

All this I have seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evildoing.

So I saw the wicked buried. Indeed they came also from holiness. They went and were forgotten in the city where they did this. This also is vanity.

The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.

“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.”

“Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.

Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.

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

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

For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
