Psalms 94:12

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.

“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.

I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

for whom Yahweh loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, “Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,

In the night season my bones are pierced in me, and the pains that gnaw me take no rest.

who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.

Yahweh, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

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.

But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.

Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.

Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.

Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh, “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.

Yahweh’s hand was there on me; and he said to me, “Arise, go out into the plain, and I will talk with you there.”

See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?

For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.

of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

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

You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.

Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.

But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips.

But there is a spirit in man, and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.

Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

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

Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your word.

Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

They will come with weeping. I will lead them with petitions. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they won’t stumble; for I am a father to Israel. Ephraim is my firstborn.

“How can you be quiet, since Yahweh has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.”

Turn us to yourself, Yahweh, and we will be turned. Renew our days as of old.

As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us. Yet we have not entreated the favor of Yahweh our God, that we should turn from our iniquities and have discernment in your truth.

What do you plot against Yahweh? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t rise up the second time.

are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

Let my lips utter praise, for you teach me your statutes.

My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;

If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.

Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, Yahweh our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.

Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved; for you are my praise.

“I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned; for you are Yahweh my God.

“Therefore, you son of man, prepare your stuff for moving, and move by day in their sight. You shall move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live. He shall not die.

“He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to you first to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your wickedness.”

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.

You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to Yahweh’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will surely die.”

He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,

“If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him;

then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?

For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.

Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you, lest I make you a desolation, an uninhabited land.”

It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.

Yahweh’s voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: “Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.

But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”

for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
