Hast thou

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

If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am blameless, it shall also prove me perverse.

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if indeed I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, restore, establish, strengthen, settle you.

An upright

He that walks in his uprightness fears the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despises him.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keeps his way preserves his soul.

Holdeth

And as for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me before your face forever.

Blessed is the man that endures trial: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love him.

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Thou movedst

But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.

Destroy him

And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
