Sermons citing Job 8

^8:3 Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right?

^8:4 When your children sinned against Him, He gave them over to their rebellion.

^8:5 But if you would earnestly seek God and ask the Almighty for mercy,

^8:6 if you are pure and upright, even now He will rouse Himself on your behalf and restore your righteous estate.

^8:7 Though your beginnings were modest, your latter days will flourish.

^8:8 Please inquire of past generations and consider the discoveries of their fathers.

^8:9 For we were born yesterday and know nothing; our days on earth are but a shadow.

^8:10 Will they not teach you and tell you, and speak from their understanding?

^8:11 Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Do reeds flourish without water?

^8:12 While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up more quickly than grass.

^8:13 Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so the hope of the godless will perish.

^8:14 His confidence is fragile; his security is in a spider’s web.

^8:15 He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure.

^8:16 He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden.

^8:17 His roots wrap around the rock heap; he looks for a home among the stones.

^8:18 If he is uprooted from his place, it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’

^8:19 Surely this is the joy of his way; yet others will spring from the dust.

^8:20 Behold, God does not reject the blameless, nor will He strengthen the hand of evildoers.

^8:21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with a shout of joy.

^8:22 Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
