Job 3:1–4:21
1After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day, 2saying, 3Let the day perish in which I was born, and that night in which they said, Behold a man-child! 4Let that night be darkness, and let not the Lord regard it from above, neither let light come upon it. 5But let darkness and the shadow of death seize it; let blackness come upon it; 6let that day and night be cursed, let darkness carry them away; let it not come into the days of the year, neither let it be numbered with the days of the months. 7But let that night be pain, and let not mirth come upon it, nor joy. 8But let him that curses that day curse it, [even] he that is ready to attack the great whale. 9Let the stars of that night be darkened; let it remain [dark], and not come into light; and let it not see the morning star arise: 10because it shut not up the gates of my mother's womb, for [so] it would have removed sorrow from my eyes. 11For why died I not in the belly? and [why] did I not come forth from the womb and die immediately? 12And why did the knees support me? and why did I suck the breasts? 13Now I should have lain down and been quiet, I should have slept and been at rest, 14with kings [and] councillors of the earth, who gloried in [their] swords; 15or with rulers, whose gold was abundant, who filled their houses with silver: 16or [I should have been] as an untimely birth proceeding from his mother's womb, or as infants who never saw light. 17There the ungodly have burnt out the fury of rage; there the wearied in body rest. 18And the men of old time have together ceased to hear the exactor's voice. 19The small and great are there, and the servant that feared his lord. 20For why is light given to those who are in bitterness, and life to the souls which are in griefs? 21who desire death, and obtain it not, digging [for it] as [for] treasures; 22and would be very joyful if they should gain it? 23Death [is] rest to [such] a man, for God has hedged him in. 24For my groaning comes before my food, and I weep being beset with terror. 25For the terror of which I meditated has come upon me, and that which I had feared has befallen me. 26I was not at peace, nor quiet, nor had I rest; yet wrath came upon me. Chapter 41Then Eliphaz the Thæmanite answered and said, 2Hast thou been often spoken to in distress? but who shall endure the force of thy words? 3For whereas thou hast instructed many, and hast strengthened the hands of the weak one, 4and hast supported the failing with words, and hast imparted courage to feeble knees. 5Yet now [that] pain has come upon thee, and touched thee, thou art troubled. 6Is not thy fear [founded] in folly, thy hope also, and the mischief of thy way? 7Remember then who has perished, being pure? or when were the true-hearted utterly destroyed? 8Accordingly as I have seen men ploughing barren places, and they that sow them will reap sorrows for themselves. 9They shall perish by the command of the Lord, and shall be utterly consumed by the breath of his wrath. 10The strength of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the exulting cry of serpents are quenched. 11The old lion has perished for want of food, and the lions' whelps have forsaken one another. 12But if there had been any truth in thy words, none of these evils would have befallen thee. Shall not mine ear receive excellent [revelations] from him? 13But [as when] terror falls upon men, with dread and a sound in the night, 14horror and trembling seized me, and caused all my bones greatly to shake. 15And a spirit came before my face; and my hair and flesh quivered. 16I arose and perceived it not: I looked, and there was no form before my eyes: but I only heard a breath and a voice, [saying], 17What, shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? or a man be blameless in regard to his works? 18Whereas he trusts not in his servants, and perceives perverseness in his angels. 19But [as for] them that dwell in houses of clay, of whom we also are formed of the same clay, he smites them like a moth. 20And from morning to evening they no longer exist: they have perished, because they cannot help themselves. 21For he blows upon them, and they are withered: they have perished for lack of wisdom.

MT Psalm 91 = LXX Psalm 90 (standard offset).
14They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. 15Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare 16that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

15Folly is attached to the heart of a child, but the rod and instruction are [then] far from him.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 8:1–21
1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
