Job 35:5

Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the sky for multitude.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

Yahweh says, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build to me? Where will I rest?

Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says Yahweh. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says Yahweh.

Besides hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”

Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.

that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’ ”

Your servant is among your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can’t be numbered or counted for multitude.

But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense before him?

and refused to obey. They weren’t mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and didn’t forsake them.

“Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!

For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

Yes, can any understand the spreading of the clouds, and the thunderings of his pavilion?

He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.

However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,

You also multiplied their children as the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land concerning which you said to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.

He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.

Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.

Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

But David didn’t take the number of them from twenty years old and under, because Yahweh had said he would increase Israel like the stars of the sky.

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

They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?

Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.

Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.

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

Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?

Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;

Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

The burden of Egypt. “Behold, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt within it.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Behold, he will come up as clouds, and his chariots will be as the whirlwind. His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! For we are ruined.

As the army of the sky can’t be counted, and the sand of the sea can’t be measured; so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’ ”

Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.

Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Yahweh will be seen over them; and his arrow will go flash like lightning; and the Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.

The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,

I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.

Yahweh brought him outside, and said, “Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So your offspring will be.”

Yahweh’s angel said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude.”

I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. In your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,

Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.

The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, in addition to children.

‘Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’

Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you, as he has promised you!

Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven, the heaven of heavens, and the earth, with all that is therein.

But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

“But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!

if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.

Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind,

Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!

From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,

Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.

God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots will be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. The grasshopper strips, and flees away.

Jesus said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows), such a one caught up into the third heaven.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Christ.

By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
