Job 22:5-30
Isn’t your wickedness abundant and aren’t your iniquities endless?For you took collateral from your brothers without cause, stripping off their clothes and leaving them naked.You gave no water to the thirsty and withheld food from the famished,while the land belonged to a powerful man and an influential man lived on it.You sent widows away empty-handed, and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.Therefore snares surround you, and sudden dread terrifies you,or darkness, so you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.Isn’t God as high as the heavens? And look at the highest stars— how lofty they are!Yet you say,“ What does God know? Can he judge through total darkness?Clouds veil him so that he cannot see, as he walks on the circle of the sky.”Will you continue on the ancient path that wicked men have walked?They were snatched away before their time, and their foundations were washed away by a river.They were the ones who said to God,“ Leave us alone!” and“ What can the Almighty do to us?”But it was he who filled their houses with good things. The counsel of the wicked is far from me!The righteous see this and rejoice; the innocent mock them, saying,“ Surely our opponents are destroyed, and fire has consumed what they left behind.”Come to terms with God and be at peace; in this way good will come to you.Receive instruction from his mouth, and place his sayings in your heart.If you return to the Almighty, you will be renewed. If you banish injustice from your tentand consign your gold to the dust, the gold of Ophir to the stones in the wadis,the Almighty will be your gold and your finest silver.Then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.When you make a decision, it will be carried out, and light will shine on your ways.When others are humiliated and you say,“ Lift them up,” God will save the humble.He will even rescue the guilty one, who will be rescued by the purity of your hands.

Job 2:3-6
Then the LORD said to Satan,“ Have you considered my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited me against him, to destroy him for no good reason.”“ Skin for skin!” Satan answered the LORD.“ A man will give up everything he owns in exchange for his life.But stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face.”“ Very well,” the LORD told Satan,“ he is in your power; only spare his life.”

Ecclesiastes 9:1-2
Indeed, I took all this to heart and explained it all: The righteous, the wise, and their works are in God’s hands. People don’t know whether to expect love or hate. Everything lies ahead of them.Everything is the same for everyone: There is one fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not sacrifice. As it is for the good, so also it is for the sinner; as it is for the one who takes an oath, so also for the one who fears an oath.

Job 1:8-12
Then the LORD said to Satan,“ Have you considered my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil.”Satan answered the LORD,“ Does Job fear God for nothing?Haven’t you placed a hedge around him, his household, and everything he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.But stretch out your hand and strike everything he owns, and he will surely curse you to your face.”“ Very well,” the LORD told Satan,“ everything he owns is in your power. However, do not lay a hand on Job himself.” So Satan left the LORD’s presence.
