1
 Therefore seeing we [Paul and his coworkers] have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2
 but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3
 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4
 in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5
 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6
 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to
give
the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7
 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8
Â
We are
troubled on every side, yet not distressed;
we are
perplexed, but not in despair;
9
 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10
 always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11
 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12
 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.
1
 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us,
what
work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
2
Â
How
thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them;
how
thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
3
 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
4
 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5
 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6
 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7
 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8
 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
10
 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
11
 He that loveth pureness of heart,
for
the grace of his lips the king
shall be
his friend.
12
 The eyes of the L
ORD
preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
1
 At this also my [Elihu's] heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
2
 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound
that
goeth out of his mouth.
3
 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4
 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5
 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6
 For he saith to the snow, Be thou
on
the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
7
 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8
 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9
 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10
 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11
 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
12
 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13
 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14
 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15
 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16
 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17
 How thy garments
are
warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south
wind?
18
 Hast thou with him spread out the sky,
which is
strong,
and
as a molten looking glass?
19
 Teach us what we shall say unto him;
for
we cannot order
our speech
by reason of darkness.
20
 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21
 And now
men
see not the bright light which
is
in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22
 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God
is
terrible majesty.
23
Â
Touching
the Almighty, we cannot find him out:
he is
excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
24
 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any
that are
wise of heart.
38:
1
 Then the L
ORD
answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2
 Who
is
this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3
 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4
 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5
 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6
 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7
 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8
 Or
who
shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth,
as if
it had issued out of the womb?
9
 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
10
 And brake up for it my decreed
place,
and set bars and doors,
11
 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
12
 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days;
and
caused the dayspring to know his place;
13
 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14
 It is turned as clay
to
the seal; and they stand as a garment.
15
 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
16
 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
17
 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18
 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
19
 Where
is
the way
where
light dwelleth? and
as for
darkness, where
is
the place thereof,
20
 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths
to
the house thereof?
21
 Knowest thou
it,
because thou wast then born? or
because
the number of thy days
is
great?
22
 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
23
 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
24
 By what way is the light parted,
which
scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
25
 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
26
 To cause it to rain on the earth,
where
no man
is; on
the wilderness, wherein
there is
no man;
27
 To satisfy the desolate and waste
ground;
and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
28
 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
29
 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
30
 The waters are hid as
with
a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
31
 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32
 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
33
 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
34
 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
35
 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we
are?
36
 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
37
 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
38
 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
39
 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
40
 When they couch in
their
dens,
and
abide in the covert to lie in wait?
41
 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
39:
1
 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?
or
canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
2
 Canst thou number the months
that
they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
3
 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
4
 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.
5
 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
6
 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
7
 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
8
 The range of the mountains
is
his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
9
 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
10
 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11
 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength
is
great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12
 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather
it into
thy barn?
13
Â
Gavest thou
the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
14
 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
15
 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
16
 She is hardened against her young ones, as though
they were
not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
17
 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
18
 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
19
 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
20
 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils
is
terrible.
21
 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in
his
strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
22
 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
23
 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
24
 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that
it is
the sound of the trumpet.
25
 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
26
 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom,
and
stretch her wings toward the south?
27
 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
28
 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
29
 From thence she seeketh the prey,
and
her eyes behold afar off.
30
 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain
are,
there
is
she.
