[[1]] ¶ But Job answered and said,

2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.

3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.

4 As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?

5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.

7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

8 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.

11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.

14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.^[1]

15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

16 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.

18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.

20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.

23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.

25 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.

26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.

28 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?

29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,

30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.

33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.

34 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?

↑ Lacking Knowledge
Hosea 4:6-8 “‭6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. ‭7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. ‭8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.”

Job 21:13-14 “‭13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. ‭14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.” Job 21:13-14

Job 21:22-23 “‭22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. ‭23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.”

Psalms 14:2-5 “‭2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. ‭3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. ‭4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. ‭5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.” repeated in Psalms 53:5.

Psalms 119:66-67 “‭66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. ‭67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.”

Proverbs 1:7-14 “‭7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. ‭8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: ‭9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. ‭10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. ‭11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: ‭12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:... 14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:”

2 Peter 2:15-22 “‭15 ...forsaken the right way... following the way of Balaam ... who loved the wages of unrighteousness; ‭16 But was rebuked for his iniquity... ‭18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. ‭19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. ‭20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. ‭21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. ‭22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”
