if the men of my tent have not said, 'Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?'

Job’s friends are dismayed and can no longer answer;
words have left them.

I must speak so that I can find relief;
I must open my lips and respond.

If you can answer me, set your words in order before me, stand up.

His flesh is so consumed away, that it can't be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.

Do you really think that one who hates justice can govern? And will you declare guilty the supremely righteous One,

Can one say to a king, "You're vile!' or to nobles, "You're wicked!'?

"They die suddenly, in the middle of the night; people suffer seizures and pass away; even valiant men can be taken away and not by human hands.

There is no darkness, no deep darkness,
where evildoers can hide themselves.

He strikes them for their wickedness, in a place where people can see,

but he remains quiet, and who can condemn? And he hides [his] face, and who can behold him? Yet [he is] over a nation and over a person alike,

For thou dost say, How can one profit by thee? How can I benefit, more than by my sin?

If thou art righteous, what canst thou give unto him? Or what, at thy hand, can he accept?

Even though you complain that you can't perceive him, your case is already pending for judgment in his presence so keep on placing your hope in him.

Can your wealth or all your physical exertion
keep you from distress?

Who has prescribed him his way? or who can say, You have worked iniquity?

Lo, God is great, and we comprehend him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

"Moreover, {can anyone understand} [the] spreading of clouds, [the] thundering of his dwelling place?

His thunder roars after it; his majestic voice will thunder; and no one can trace them once his voice has been heard.

God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.

with him can you spread out [the] skies, hard as a molten mirror?

Teach us what we shall tell him, for we can't make our case by reason of darkness.

Should He be told that I want to speak?
Can a man speak when he is confused?

And now men can not look on the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes, and clears them.

“Out of the north comes golden splendor [and people can hardly look on it];
Around God is awesome splendor and majesty [far too glorious for man’s eyes].

We can't reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

Therefore humanity fears him, which none of the wise can quite comprehend."

so you can lead it back to its border?
Are you familiar with the paths to its home?

"Can you bind [the] chains of [the] Pleiades, or can you loosen [the] cords of Orion?

Can you lead forth the southern constellations at their appointed time, or can you lead [the] Bear with its children?

Do you know heaven's statutes, or can you establish their rule on the earth?

Can you lift up your voice to the clouds so that a flood of water may cover you?

Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go? And will they say to you, 'Here we are'?

Who can number [the] clouds with wisdom? Or who can tilt heaven's jars,

"Can you hunt prey for [the] lion? And can you satisfy [the] hunger of strong lions

Know you the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or can you mark when the hinds do calve?

Can you number [the] months they fulfill, and do you know [the] time of its giving birth?

Can you tie [the] wild ox [with] its rope to a furrow, or will it harrow [the] valleys after you?

Can you make him afraid like a grasshopper? the majesty of his snorting is terrible.

“With fierceness and rage he races to devour the ground,
And he does not stand still at the sound of the [war] trumpet.

He abideth in the stony rocks, and upon the high tops of hard mountains, where no man can come.

"Can he that striveth with the Almighty be at rest? Should not he which disputeth with God, give him an answer?"

I am so insignificant. How can I answer You?
I place my hand over my mouth.

I have spoken once, and I will not reply;
twice, but now I can add nothing.

Indeed would you annul my justice and condemn me, just so you can claim that you're righteous?

Or do you have an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?

And I will also praise you, that your [own] right hand can save you.

He is the first of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

Can anyone take it by its eyes? Can he pierce [its] nose with a snare?

Can you put a rope in its nose? Or can you pierce its jawbone with a hook?

Will he make a covenant with you
so that you can take him as a slave forever?

Can you play with him like a bird
or put him on a leash for your girls?

Can you fill his skin with harpoons? or his head with fish spears?

None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?

Who can take me to court and be reconciled to me? All of heaven is mine.

The arrow can't make him flee. Sling stones are like chaff to him.

“He looks on everything that is high [without terror];
He is monarch over all the sons of pride. [And now, Job, who are you who does not dare to disturb the beast, yet who dares resist Me, the beast’s creator? Everything under the heavens is Mine; therefore, who can have a claim against God?]”

I know that you can do everything, and that no thought can be withheld from you.

For who can keep his own counsel so secret, but it shall be known? Therefore have I spoken unwisely, seeing these things are so high, and pass mine understanding.

For this reason the wicked cannot withstand judgment, nor can sinners join the assembly of the godly.

Kiss the son before he becomes angry, and you die where you stand. Indeed, his wrath can flare up quickly. How blessed are those who take refuge in him. A Davidic Psalm, when he fled from his son Absalom.

Many are saying, “Who can show us anything good?”
Look on us with favor, Lord.

For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

The boastful and the arrogant will not stand in Your sight;
You hate all who do evil.

For there is no remembrance of You in death;
who can thank You in Sheol?

when they prayed: "Have mercy on me, Lord! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!

In Yahweh I have taken refuge; how can you say to my soul, "Flee to your mountain [like] a bird"?

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

They say, “Through our tongues we have power;
our lips are our own—who can be our master?”

A Davidic psalm.Lord, who can dwell in Your tent?
Who can live on Your holy mountain?

For with you I can charge a troop, and with my God I can scale a wall.

[He] trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

It emerges from the distant horizon, and goes from one end of the sky to the other; nothing can escape its heat.

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

I can count all my bones; they gaze, they look at me.

All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

{A Psalm of David} The LORD is my shepherd; I can want nothing.

I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O Lord,

I have asked the Lord for one thing -- this is what I desire! I want to live in the Lord's house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple.

"What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty?

so that I can sing to You and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise You forever.

Listen to me! Quickly deliver me! Be my protector and refuge, a stronghold where I can be safe!

For I hear what so many are saying, the terrifying news that comes from every direction. When they plot together against me, they figure out how they can take my life.

Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength:

The horse [is] a false hope for victory, nor can it save by the greatness of its power.

With all my strength I will say, "O Lord, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them."
