God does speak, now one-way and then another, though man may not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds, he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, read more.
that turn man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride. It is to preserve him from the pit and keep his life from perishing by the sword. On the other hand a man may be chastened on a bed of pain with constant distress in his bones. His very being finds food repulsive and he loathes the choicest meal. His flesh wastes away to nothing, and his bones, once hidden, now stick out. He draws near to the pit and to the messengers of death. Yet if there is an angel on his side as a mediator, one out of a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him, to be gracious to him and say: 'Spare him from going down to the pit. I have found a ransom for him!' His flesh is renewed like a child's. It is restored as in the days of his youth. He prays to God and finds favor with him. He sees God's face and shouts for joy! God restores him to his righteous state. He comes to men and says: 'I sinned, and perverted what was right, but I did not get what I deserved.' He redeemed me from going down to the pit, and I will live to enjoy the light. God does all these things to a man twice, even three times. He turns him back from the pit that the light of life may shine on him.



You are the salt of the earth. If its taste goes away, how will you restore it? It is good for nothing. All you can do is throw it on the ground and walk on it. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill may be seen by all. A light is not placed under a cover. To the contrary, it is placed on a table so all may see. read more.
Likewise, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Consider your calling, brothers. Not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. Instead God chose the foolish things of the world to confuse (shame) the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to confuse (shame) the things that are mighty. God also chose the base things of the world, and things which are despised, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are. read more.
No human being should boast before God.

No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him. I will resurrect him (raise him up) in the last day. It is written in the prophets: Jehovah shall teach them all. Every one who hears the Father and has learned comes to me. (Jeremiah 31:34)

As for me, I would seek God's help and present my case to him. He does great things that we cannot understand and miracles that we cannot count. He gives rain to the earth and sends water to the fields. read more.
He sets on high the lowly people. He lifts those who mourn to safety. He keeps shrewd (crafty) (cunning) people from carrying out their plans so that they cannot do anything successfully. He catches the wise with their own craftiness. The plans of schemers are quickly halted. They meet in darkness in the daytime! In bright sunlight they grope as if it were night. He saves people from the sword (slander) of their mouth. He saves the needy from the power of the mighty. The poor have hope when wrongdoing shuts its mouth. Blessed is the person whom God corrects. Do not despise discipline from the Almighty. God inflicts wounds and he bandages. He strikes but his hands make you well. He will keep you safe from six troubles, and when the seventh one comes, no harm will touch you: In famine he will save you from death, and in war he will save you from the sword.

I will say to God: 'Do not condemn me, but tell me what charges you have against me. Does it please you to oppress me, to spurn the work of your hands, while you smile on the schemes of the wicked? Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a man sees? read more.
Are your days like those of a mortal or are your years like those of a man? Must you search out my faults and probe after my sin? You know that I am not guilty and that no one can force me from your hand! Your hands formed me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me? Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again? Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese, clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews? You granted me life and showed me kindness. Your providence preserved my spirit. Yet this is what you concealed in your heart, and I know that this was in your mind: If I sinned, you would be watching me and would not let my offense go unpunished. If I am wicked, woe to me! Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head, for I am full of shame and aware of my affliction. If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion and again display your awesome power against me. You bring new witnesses against me and increase your anger toward me. Your forces come against me wave upon wave. Why then did you bring me out of the womb? I wish I had died before anyone saw me. If only I had never come into being, or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!' Are not my days few in number? Turn away from me so I can have a moment's joy before I go to the place of no return, to the land of darkness and the shadow of death,

The tents of marauders prosper and those who provoke God are secure in what God's hand brings them. Ask the animals and they will teach you, or the birds of the air and they will tell you. Speak to the earth and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. read more.
Which of all these does not know that the hand of Jehovah has done this? In his hand are the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food? Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding? To God belong wisdom and power. Counsel and understanding are his. What he tears down cannot be rebuilt. The man he imprisons cannot be released. If he holds back the waters, there is drought. If he lets them loose, they devastate the land. To him belong strength and victory. Both deceived and deceivers are his. He leads counselors away stripped and makes fools of judges. He takes off the bonds put on by kings and ties a belt around their waist. He leads priests away stripped and overthrows men long established. He silences the lips of trusted advisers and takes away the discernment of elders. He pours out contempt upon nobles and disarms the mighty. He uncovers the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into the light. He makes nations great, and destroys them. He enlarges nations, and disperses them. He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason and understanding. He sends them wandering through a pathless wilderness.

But I tell you, Job, in this you are not right, for God is greater than man. Why do you complain to him that he answers none of man's words? God does speak, now one-way and then another, though man may not perceive it. read more.
