Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him, to destroy him without just cause.”

His wife said to him, “Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God and die!”

I cannot relax or be still;
I have no rest, for trouble comes.

It would still bring me comfort,
and I would leap for joy in unrelenting pain
that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

Reconsider; don’t be unjust.
Reconsider; my righteousness is still the issue.

While still uncut shoots,
they would dry up quicker than any other plant.

I would still live in terror of all my pains.
I know You will not acquit me.

Even if He kills me, I will hope in Him.
I will still defend my ways before Him.

Their children are established while they are still alive,
and their descendants, before their eyes.

The wicked displace boundary markers.
They steal a flock and provide pasture for it.

as long as my breath is still in me
and the breath from God remains in my nostrils,

when the Almighty was still with me
and my children were around me,

Be patient with me a little longer, and I will inform you,
for there is still more to be said on God’s behalf.

He charges ahead with trembling rage;
he cannot stand still at the trumpet’s sound.

Be angry and do not sin;
on your bed, reflect in your heart and be still.Selah

Though an army deploys against me,
my heart is not afraid;
though a war breaks out against me,
still I am confident.

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

Those who hate me without cause
are more numerous than the hairs of my head;
my deceitful enemies, who would destroy me,
are powerful.
Though I did not steal, I must repay.

God, You have taught me from my youth,
and I still proclaim Your wonderful works.

At Your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse lay still.

Before they had satisfied their desire,
while the food was still in their mouths,

You rule the raging sea;
when its waves surge, You still them.

They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,

If I counted them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand;
when I wake up, I am still with You.

Then our sons will be like plants
nurtured in their youth,
our daughters, like corner pillars
that are carved in the palace style.

Let’s swallow them alive, like Sheol,
still healthy as they go down to the Pit.

Still, if caught, he must pay seven times as much;
he must give up all the wealth in his house.

Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man, and he will learn more.

Otherwise, I might have too much
and deny You, saying, “Who is the Lord?”
or I might have nothing and steal,
profaning the name of my God.

and provides food for her household
and portions for her female servants.

I explored with my mind how to let my body enjoy life with wine and how to grasp folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom—until I could see what is good for people to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

So I admired the dead, who have already died, more than the living, who are still alive.

There is a person without a companion, without even a son or brother, and though there is no end to all his struggles, his eyes are still not content with riches. “So who am I struggling for,” he asks, “and depriving myself from good?” This too is futile and a miserable task.

Therefore the Lord’s anger burns against His people.
He raised His hand against them and struck them;
the mountains quaked,
and their corpses were like garbage in the streets.

and His hand is still raised to strike.

Aram from the east and Philistia from the west
have consumed Israel with open mouths.
In all this, His anger is not removed,
and His hand is still raised to strike.

Therefore the Lord does not rejoice
over Israel’s young men
and has no compassion
on its fatherless and widows,
for everyone is a godless evildoer,
and every mouth speaks folly.
In all this, His anger is not removed,
and His hand is still raised to strike.

but they are still hungry;
they have eaten on the left,
but they are still not satisfied.

and Ephraim with Manasseh;
together, both are against Judah.
In all this, His anger is not removed,
and His hand is still raised to strike.

except crouch among the prisoners
or fall among the slain.

while it is still in his hand.

It will be like a hungry one who dreams he is eating,
then wakes and is still hungry;
and like a thirsty one who dreams he is drinking,
then wakes and is still thirsty, longing for water.
So it will be for all the many nations
who go to battle against Mount Zion.

This one will say, ‘I am the Lord’s’;
another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
still another will write on his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’
and name himself by the name of Israel.”

This is the declaration of the Lord God,
who gathers the dispersed of Israel:
“I will gather to them still others
besides those already gathered.”

for it cannot be still,
and its waters churn up mire and muck.

Even if you wash with lye
and use a great amount of soap,

a great destruction.

Therefore, take note! I am against the prophets”—the Lord’s declaration—“who steal My words from each other.

Whenever I speak against him,
I certainly still think about him.
Therefore, My inner being yearns for him;
I will truly have compassion on him.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

While he was still confined in the guard’s courtyard, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time:

Even her mercenaries among her
are like stall-fed calves.
They too will turn back;
together they will flee;
they will not take their stand,
for the day of their calamity is coming on them,
the time of their punishment.

Oh, sword of the Lord!
How long will you be restless?
Go back to your sheath;
be still; be silent!

You who have escaped the sword,
go and do not stand still!
Remember the Lord from far away,
and let Jerusalem come to your mind.

It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is still young.

Let him put his mouth in the dust—
perhaps there is still hope.

When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the roar of mighty waters, like the voice of the Almighty, and a sound of commotion like the noise of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

Then you engaged in prostitution with the Assyrian men because you were not satisfied. Even though you did this with them, you were still not satisfied.

However, this king revolted against him by sending his ambassadors to Egypt so they might give him horses and a large army. Will he flourish? Will the one who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and still escape?

Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’
in the presence of those who kill you?
Yet you will be only a man, not a god,
in the hands of those who kill you.

While the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice came from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared that the kingdom has departed from you.

The two kings, whose hearts are bent on evil, will speak lies at the same table but to no avail, for still the end will come at the appointed time.

Some of the wise will fall so that they may be refined, purified, and cleansed until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.

the house of Israel, with deceit.
Judah still wanders with God
and is faithful to the holy ones.

and dine on lambs from the flock
and calves from the stall.

if marauders by night—
how ravaged you would be!—

If grape pickers came to you,
wouldn’t they leave some grapes?

He prayed to the Lord: “Please, Lord, isn’t this what I said while I was still in my own country? That’s why I fled toward Tarshish in the first place. I knew that You are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to become angry, rich in faithful love, and One who relents from sending disaster.

Are there still the treasures of wickedness
and the accursed short measure
in the house of the wicked?

at the flash of Your flying arrows,
at the brightness of Your shining spear.

“You expected much, but then it amounted to little. When you brought the harvest to your house, I ruined it. Why?” This is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts. “Because My house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house.

Is there still seed left in the granary? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet produced. But from this day on I will bless you.”

If a man still prophesies, his father and his mother who bore him will say to him: You cannot remain alive because you have spoken falsely in the name of Yahweh. When he prophesies, his father and his mother who bore him will pierce him through.

You are suffering under a curse, yet you—the whole nation—are still robbing Me.

But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and playfully jump like calves from the stall.

This is My beloved Son.
I take delight in Him.
Listen to Him!
