1 Corinthians 14:18-40

18
 I [Paul] thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
19
 yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that
by my voice
I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an
unknown
tongue.

20
 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
21
 In the law it is written, With
men of
other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

22
 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying
serveth
not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
23
 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in
those that are
unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
24
 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or
one
unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
25
 and thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on
his
face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

26
 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27
 If any man speak in an
unknown
tongue,
let it be
by two, or at the most
by
three, and
that
by course; and let one interpret.
28
 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

29
 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30
 If
any thing
be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31
 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32
 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33
 For God is not
the author
of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

34
 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but
they are commanded
to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
35
 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

36
 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
37
 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
38
 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

39
 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40
 Let all things be done decently and in order.

Psalm 37:30-40

30
 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

31
 The law of his God
is
in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

32
 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

33
 The L
ORD
will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

34
 Wait on the L
ORD
, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see
it.

35
 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

36
 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he
was
not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37
 Mark the perfect
man,
and behold the upright: for the end of
that
man
is
peace.

38
 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

39
 But the salvation of the righteous
is
of the L
ORD
:
he is
their strength in the time of trouble.

40
 And the L
ORD
shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Proverbs 21:27

27
 The sacrifice of the wicked
is
abomination: how much more,
when
he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

Job 8:1–11:20

1 Corinthians 15:1-28

Psalm 38:1-22

Proverbs 21:28-29

Job 8:1–11:20

1
 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2
 How long wilt thou speak these
things?
and
how long shall
the words of thy mouth
be like
a strong wind?

3
 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

4
 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;

5
 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;

6
 If thou
wert
pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

7
 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

8
 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:

9
 (For we
are but of
yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth
are
a shadow:)

10
 Shall not they teach thee,
and
tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?

11
 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?

12
 Whilst it
is
yet in his greenness,
and
not cut down, it withereth before any
other
herb.

13
 So
are
the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

14
 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust
shall be
a spider's web.

15
 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

16
 He
is
green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.

17
 His roots are wrapped about the heap,
and
seeth the place of stones.

18
 If he destroy him from his place, then
it
shall deny him,
saying,
I have not seen thee.

19
 Behold, this
is
the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.

20
 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect
man,
neither will he help the evil doers:

21
 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.

22
 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.

9:
1
 Then Job answered and said,

2
 I know
it is
so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?

3
 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

4
 
He is
wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened
himself
against him, and hath prospered?

5
 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.

6
 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

7
 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.

8
 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

9
 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.

10
 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

11
 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see
him
not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

12
 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?

13
 
If
God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.

14
 How much less shall I answer him,
and
choose out my words
to reason
with him?

15
 Whom, though I were righteous,
yet
would I not answer,
but
I would make supplication to my judge.

16
 If I had called, and he had answered me;
yet
would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.

17
 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

18
 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.

19
 If
I speak
of strength, lo,
he is
strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time
to plead?

20
 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me:
if I say,
I
am
perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

21
 
Though
I
were
perfect,
yet
would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.

22
 This
is
one
thing,
therefore I said
it,
He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

23
 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.

24
 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where,
and
who
is
he?

25
 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

26
 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle
that
hasteth to the prey.

27
 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort
myself:

28
 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

29
 
If
I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?

30
 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

31
 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.

32
 For
he is
not a man, as I
am, that
I should answer him,
and
we should come together in judgment.

33
 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us,
that
might lay his hand upon us both.

34
 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:

35
 
Then
would I speak, and not fear him; but
it is
not so with me.

10:
1
 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

2
 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.

3
 
Is it
good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

4
 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?

5
 
Are
thy days as the days of man?
are
thy years as man's days,

6
 That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?

7
 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and
there is
none that can deliver out of thine hand.

8
 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

9
 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?

10
 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

11
 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

12
 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

13
 And these
things
hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this
is
with thee.

14
 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

15
 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and
if
I be righteous,
yet
will I not lift up my head.
I am
full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

16
 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

17
 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war
are
against me.

18
 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

19
 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

20
 
Are
not my days few? cease
then, and
let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

21
 Before I go
whence
I shall not return,
even
to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

22
 A land of darkness, as darkness
itself; and
of the shadow of death, without any order, and
where
the light
is
as darkness.

11:
1
 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

2
 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?

3
 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

4
 For thou hast said, My doctrine
is
pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

5
 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

6
 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that
they are
double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee
less
than thine iniquity
deserveth.

7
 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

8
 
It is
as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

9
 The measure thereof
is
longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

10
 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?

11
 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider
it?

12
 For vain man would be wise, though man be born
like
a wild ass's colt.

13
 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

14
 If iniquity
be
in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

15
 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

16
 Because thou shalt forget
thy
misery,
and
remember
it
as waters
that
pass away:

17
 And
thine
age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

18
 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig
about thee, and
thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

19
 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make
thee
afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

20
 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope
shall be as
the giving up of the ghost.
