Job 15:25

⁷“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

⁹They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.

²³but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.

⁴God is wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him and prospered?

¹¹They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”

⁶Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had worked wonderfully among them, didn’t they let the people go, and they departed?

¹³“Your words have been harsh against me,” says the LORD. “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against you?’

⁹then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

²³Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.

⁴Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle! I would march on them and I would burn them together.
