Job 11:13-19
As for you, if you redirect your heart and spread out your hands to him in prayer—if there is iniquity in your hand, remove it, and don’t allow injustice to dwell in your tents—then you will hold your head high, free from fault. You will be firmly established and unafraid.For you will forget your suffering, recalling it only as water that has flowed by.Your life will be brighter than noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.You will be confident, because there is hope. You will look carefully about and lie down in safety.You will lie down with no one to frighten you, and many will seek your favor.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God.For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

Job 5:8-26
However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him.He does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number.He gives rain to the earth and sends water to the fields.He sets the lowly on high, and mourners are lifted to safety.He frustrates the schemes of the crafty so that they achieve no success.He traps the wise in their craftiness so that the plans of the deceptive are quickly brought to an end.They encounter darkness by day, and they grope at noon as if it were night.He saves the needy from their sharp words and from the clutches of the powerful.So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.See how happy is the person whom God corrects; so do not reject the discipline of the Almighty.For he wounds but he also bandages; he strikes, but his hands also heal.He will rescue you from six calamities; no harm will touch you in seven.In famine he will redeem you from death, and in battle, from the power of the sword.You will be safe from slander and not fear destruction when it comes.You will laugh at destruction and hunger and not fear the land’s wild creatures.For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you.You will know that your tent is secure, and nothing will be missing when you inspect your home.You will also know that your offspring will be many and your descendants like the grass of the earth.You will approach the grave in full vigor, as a stack of sheaves is gathered in its season.
