Job 33:21

By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.

The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”

You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.

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

It’s burned with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke.

A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.

if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father;’ to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’

My skin grows black and peels from me. My bones are burned with heat.

Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

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

Behold, the Lord Yahweh will help me! Who is he who will condemn me? Behold, they will all grow old like a garment. The moths will eat them up.

Our skin is black like an oven, because of the burning heat of famine.

I went out full, and Yahweh has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since Yahweh has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”

How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted within me.

They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.

For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.

For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.

You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,

Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—

But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress.

and they sat and watched him there.

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away; and the woman will be a curse among her people.

Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them.

When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky.

Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’

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.

The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.

“Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good.

though I am decaying like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.

You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.

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

You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.

Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?

The womb will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.

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

I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.

For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.

For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.

Behold, you have made my days hand widths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath.”

When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, you consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath.”

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

because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.

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

He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.

Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.

In the end, it bites like a snake, and poisons like a viper.

Don’t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard.

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority; and my people love to have it so. What will you do in the end of it?

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

Their appearance is blacker than a coal. They are not known in the streets. Their skin clings to their bones. It is withered. It has become like a stick.

Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.

At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.

She is empty, void, and waste. The heart melts, the knees knock together, their bodies and faces have grown pale.

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

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
