September 21 - Job 36.17-33

Sponsored by DailyBible Email

17Now that the judgment for your sins has fallen upon you,
18don't let your anger and the pain you endured
make you sneer at God.
19Your reputation and riches cannot protect you from distress,
20nor can you find safety in the dark world below.
21Be on guard! Don't turn to evil as a way of escape.
22God's power is unlimited. He needs no teachers
23to guide or correct him.

Others Have Praised God

24Others have praised God for what he has done,
so join with them.
25From down here on earth, everyone has looked up
and seen 26how great God is--
God is more than we imagine;
no one can count the years he has lived.
*27God gathers moisture into the clouds
28and supplies us with rain.
29Who can understand how God scatters the clouds
and speaks from his home in the thunderstorm?
30And when God sends lightning,
it can be seen at the bottom of the sea.
31By producing such rainstorms, God rules the world
and provides us with food.
32Each flash of lightning is one of his arrows
striking its target,
33and the thunder tells of his anger against sin.
