Job 7:17

Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?

But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

On that day, Yahweh magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.

what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

Now therefore, don’t let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Yahweh; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”

I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you for all your days.

Solomon the son of David was firmly established in his kingdom, and Yahweh his God was with him, and made him exceedingly great.

therefore wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you had, and none after you will have.”

Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?

You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.

No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.

The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods.

He bowed down, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look at such a dead dog as I am?”

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.

Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?

Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you,” says Yahweh. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city!” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.

Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt.

“I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who will be made as grass?

For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”

Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.

They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.

Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.

Whoever didn’t respect Yahweh’s word left his servants and his livestock in the field.

Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may Yahweh your God be with you, as he was with Moses.

Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A flea?

Then Abner was very angry about Ishbosheth’s words, and said, “Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to Saul’s house your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman!

Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”

Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”

Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?

Yahweh magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and gave to him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

“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!

After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those who set their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.

Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”

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

Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?

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

How much less will I answer him, And choose my words to argue with him?

What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm!”

If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,

His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.

You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood?

You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.

Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:

Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds:

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.

They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited.

All the nations are like nothing before him. They are regarded by him as less than nothing, and vanity.

God Yahweh, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:

He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy.

He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”

Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? You will again see yet greater abominations than these.”

Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of Yahweh’s house, and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.

“The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand on two feet as a man. A man’s heart was given to it.

He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.
