Behold, happy is the man whom +God correcteth; therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty.

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, their poison drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of +God are arrayed against me.

For him that is fainting kindness is meet from his friend; or he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.

Doth God pervert judgment, and the Almighty pervert justice?

If thou seek earnestly unto God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty,

Canst thou by searching find out +God? canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?

But I will speak to the Almighty, and will find pleasure in reasoning with God;

For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and strengthened himself against the Almighty:

What is the Almighty that we should serve him? and what are we profited if we pray unto him?

His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the fury of the Almighty.

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if thou art righteous? And is it gain to him that thou makest thy ways perfect?

Who said unto God, Depart from us! and what could the Almighty do to them?

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up. If thou remove unrighteousness far from thy tents,

Then the Almighty will be thy precious ore, and silver heaped up unto thee;

Yea, then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto +God:

For God hath made my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me;

Why are not times treasured up with the Almighty? why do not they that know him see his days?

As God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,

Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon +God?

I will teach you concerning the hand of God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

This is the portion of the wicked man with God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: --

When the Almighty was yet with me, my young men round about me;

For what would have been my portion of +God from above, and what the heritage of the Almighty from on high?

Oh that I had one to hear me! Behold my signature: let the Almighty answer me! And let mine opponent write an accusation!

But there is a spirit which is in man; and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be wickedness from God, and wrong from the Almighty!

Yea, surely, God acteth not wickedly, and the Almighty perverteth not judgment.

Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.

Shall he that will contend with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth +God, let him answer it.
