Daily Bible GNT September 21 Verses

¹⁷But now you are being punished as you deserve.

¹⁸Be careful not to let bribes deceive you,

or riches lead you astray.

¹⁹It will do you no good to cry out for help;

all your strength can't help you now.

²⁰Don't wish for night to come,

the time when nations will perish.

²¹Be careful not to turn to evil;

your suffering was sent to keep you from it.

²²Remember how great is God's power;

he is the greatest teacher of all.

²³No one can tell God what to do

or accuse him of doing evil.

²⁴He has always been praised for what he does;

you also must praise him.

²⁵Everyone has seen what he has done;

but we can only watch from a distance.

²⁶We cannot fully know his greatness

or count the number of his years.

²⁷It is God who takes water from the earth

and turns it into drops of rain.

²⁸He lets the rain pour from the clouds

in showers for all human beings.

²⁹No one knows how the clouds move

or how the thunder roars

through the sky, where God dwells.

³⁰He sends lightning through all the sky,

but the depths of the sea remain dark.

³¹This is how he feeds the people

and provides an abundance of food.

³²He seizes the lightning with his hands

and commands it to hit the mark.

³³Thunder announces the approaching storm,

and the cattle know it is coming.
