When Job prayed for his friends,

the LORD restored his fortunes.

In fact,

the LORD gave him twice as much as before!

So the LORD blessed Job in the second half of his life

even more than in the beginning. 

Job 42:10, 12

…the morning stars sang together

and all the angels shouted for joy

Job 38:7

Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:

“Who is this that questions my wisdom 

with such ignorant words?

“Where were you 

when I laid the foundations of the earth?

Tell me, if you know so much.

Job 38:1-2, 4

…Stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God!

Do you know how God controls the storm

and causes the lightning to flash from his clouds?

Do you understand how he moves the clouds

with wonderful perfection and skill?

Job 37:14-16

Look, God is greater than we can understand.

His years cannot be counted.

He draws up the water vapor

and then distills it into rain.

The rain pours down from the clouds,

and everyone benefits.

Job 36:26-28

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
