King James Version (KJV)
Job 35:1-36:21
35:1Elihu spake moreover, and said, 35:2Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? 35:3For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? 35:4I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. 35:5Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. 35:6If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? 35:7If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? 35:8Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. 35:9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. 35:10But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; 35:11Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? 35:12There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. 35:13Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. 35:14Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. 35:15But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: 35:16Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
36:1Elihu also proceeded, and said,36:2Suffer me a little, and I will show thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.36:3I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.36:4For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.36:5Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.36:6He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.36:7He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.36:8And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;36:9Then he showeth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.36:10He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.36:11If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.36:12But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.36:13But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.36:14They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.36:15He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.36:16Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.36:17But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.36:18Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.36:19Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.36:20Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.36:21Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
Mark 3:1-6
1And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.2And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.3And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.4And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.5And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.6And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
Luke 6:6-11
6And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.7And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.8But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.9Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?10And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.11And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
