JOB 25:1-26:14
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: 2“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven. 3Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise? 4How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure? 5If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight, 6how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!” 1Then Job answered: 2“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble! 3How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight! 4To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you? 5The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them. 6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. 7He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing. 8He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight. 9He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud. 10He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. 11The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke. 12By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab. 13By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. 14Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
Secondary reading — PSA 116:12-117:2
12How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me? 13I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. 14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people. 15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. 16Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds. 17I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD. 18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people, 19in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! 1Praise the LORD, all you nations! Extol Him, all you peoples! 2For great is His loving devotion toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Hallelujah!
