JOB 36:17-33
17But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you. 18Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray. 19Can your wealth or all your mighty effort keep you from distress? 20Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their homes. 21Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction. 22Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him? 23Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’? 24Remember to magnify His work, which men have praised in song. 25All mankind has seen it; men behold it from afar. 26Indeed, God is great—beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable. 27For He draws up drops of water which distill the rain from the mist, 28which the clouds pour out and shower abundantly on mankind. 29Furthermore, who can understand how the clouds spread out, how the thunder roars from His pavilion? 30See how He scatters His lightning around Him and covers the depths of the sea. 31For by these He judges the nations and provides food in abundance. 32He fills His hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark. 33The thunder declares His presence; even the cattle regard the rising storm.

89Your word, O LORD, is everlasting; it is firmly fixed in the heavens. 90Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures. 91Your ordinances stand to this day, for all things are servants to You. 92If Your law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my affliction. 93I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived me. 94I am Yours; save me, for I have sought Your precepts. 95The wicked wait to destroy me, but I will ponder Your testimonies. 96I have seen a limit to all perfection, but Your commandment is without limit. 97Oh, how I love Your law! All day long it is my meditation. 98Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are always with me. 99I have more insight than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation. 100I discern more than the elders, for I obey Your precepts. 101I have kept my feet from every evil path, that I may keep Your word. 102I have not departed from Your ordinances, for You Yourself have taught me. 103How sweet are Your words to my taste— sweeter than honey in my mouth! 104I gain understanding from Your precepts; therefore I hate every false way.
