Job 3:22

If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that a stillborn child is better than he:

“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘You shall be holy; for I, Yahweh your God, am holy.

For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.’

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.

For I know that you will bring me to death, To the house appointed for all living.

I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One among you; and I will not come in wrath.

For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’

Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

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.”

Yahweh will not pardon him, but then Yahweh’s anger and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book will fall on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the sky.

There is no one as holy as Yahweh, for there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.

Let still be my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn’t spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him and prospered?

His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my bile on the ground.

Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?”

The clods of the valley will be sweet to him. All men will draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.

Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.

They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.

The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.

With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.

What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?

One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

So I hated life, because the work that is worked under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

I hated all my labor in which I labored under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.

Yes, better than them both is him who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.

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

Aren’t you from everlasting, Yahweh my God, my Holy One? We will not die. Yahweh, you have appointed him for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish.

God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth.

But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!

how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

“To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:

The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!”
