When he giveth

And Job again took up his discourse and said,

Now it came about when the king lived in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies,

And it will be in the day when the Lord gives you rest from your pain and turmoil and harsh service in which you have been enslaved,

“The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace,
Because he trusts in You.

And the work of righteousness will be peace,
And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

When he hideth

“Behold, I go forward but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

Do not hide Your face from me,

Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;

Do not abandon me nor forsake me,

O God of my salvation!

O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

Answer me quickly, O Lord, my spirit fails;

Do not hide Your face from me,

Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.

Who then can behold

“Behold, He tears down, and it cannot be rebuilt;
He

imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

“But He is unique and who can turn Him?
And what His soul desires, that He does.

Furthermore, all the officials of the priests and the people were very unfaithful following all the abominations of the nations; and they defiled the house of the Lord which He had sanctified in Jerusalem.

“It will be, that the nation or the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and which will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine and with pestilence,” declares the Lord, “until I have destroyed it by his hand.
