If God were to take back his spirit

and withdraw his breath,

all life would cease,

and humanity would turn again to dust.

Job 34:14-15

…the Spirit of God has made me,

and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

Job 33:4

Wisdom is more valuable than gold and crystal.

It cannot be purchased…

…It’s worth more than the purest gold.

God alone understands the way to wisdom;

he knows where it can be found,

for he looks throughout the whole earth

and sees everything under the heavens.

And this is what he says to all humanity:

The fear of the Lord is true wisdom;

to forsake evil is real understanding.

Job 28:17, 23-24, 28

God stretches the northern sky over empty space

and hangs the earth on nothing. 

He wraps the rain in his thick clouds,

and the clouds don’t burst with the weight. 

He covers the face of the moon,

shrouding it with his clouds.

He created the horizon when he separated the waters;

he set the boundary between day and night. 

Job 26:7-10

The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.

I will protect those who trust in my name.

When they call on me, I will answer;

I will be with them in trouble.

I will rescue and honor them. 

Psalm 91:14-15

Blessed be the name of the LORD

now and forever.

Everywhere—from east to west—

praise the name of the LORD.

Psalm 113:2-3

This I declare about the LORD:

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;

he is my God, and I trust him.

Psalm 91:2

“…Don’t be dejected and sad,

for the joy of the LORD is your strength!”

So the people went away to eat and drink at a festive meal,

to share gifts of food,

and to celebrate with great joy

because they had heard God’s words and understood them.

Nehemiah 8:10, 12

Lord, through all the generations

you have been our home!

Before the mountains were born,

before you gave birth to the earth and the world,

from beginning to end, you are God.

Psalm 90:1-2

…Don’t be afraid of the enemy!

Remember the LORD,

who is great and glorious,

and fight for your brothers,

your sons,

your daughters,

your wives,

and your homes!

Nehemiah 4:14
