Job 13
13:1 “Behold, my eye has seen all this,
my ear has heard and understood it.
2 What you know, I also know;
I am not inferior to you.
3 But I would speak to the Almighty,
and I desire to argue my case with God.
4 As for you, you whitewash with lies;
worthless physicians are you all.
5 Oh that you would keep silent,
and it would be your wisdom!
6 Hear now my argument
and listen to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will you speak falsely for God
and speak deceitfully for him?
8 Will you show partiality toward him?
Will you plead the case for God?
9 Will it be well with you when he searches you out?
Or can you deceive him, as one deceives a man?
10 He will surely rebuke you
if in secret you show partiality.
11 Will not his majesty terrify you,
and the dread of him fall upon you?
12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay.
13 “Let me have silence, and I will speak,
and let come on me what may.
14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth
and put my life in my hand?
15 Though he slay me, I will hope in him;
yet I will argue my ways to his face.
16 This will be my salvation,
that the godless shall not come before him.
17 Keep listening to my words,
and let my declaration be in your ears.
18 Behold, I have prepared my case;
I know that I shall be in the right.
19 Who is there who will contend with me?
For then I would be silent and die.
20 Only grant me two things,
then I will not hide myself from your face:
21 withdraw your hand far from me,
and let not dread of you terrify me.
22 Then call, and I will answer;
or let me speak, and you reply to me.
23 How many are my iniquities and my sins?
Make me know my transgression and my sin.
24 Why do you hide your face
and count me as your enemy?
25 Will you frighten a driven leaf
and pursue dry chaff?
26 For you write bitter things against me
and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
27 You put my feet in the stocks
and watch all my paths;
you set a limit for the soles of my feet.
28 Man wastes away like a rotten thing,
like a garment that is moth-eaten.
Luke 4:31–37
31 And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath, 32 and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word possessed authority. 33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm. 36 And they were all amazed and said to one another, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!” 37 And reports about him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
Mark 1:29–34
29 And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32 That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. 33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
King James Version (KJV)
Job 13:1-28
1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.2What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.3Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.4But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.5O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.6Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.7Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?8Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?9Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?10He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.11Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?12Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.14Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?15Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.16He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.17Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.18Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.19Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.20Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.21Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.22Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.23How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?25Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?26For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.27Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.28And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
Luke 4:31-37
31And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.32And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.33And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,34Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.35And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.36And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.37And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
Mark 1:29-34
29And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.30But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.31And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.32And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.33And all the city was gathered together at the door.34And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
