Job 13-15

I Will Be Declared Righteous

[3] "But I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to argue with God. 

[Job 13:3 LSB]

[18] "Come now, and let us reason together," Says Yahweh, "Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.

[Isa 1:18 LSB]

[15] "Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.
[16] "This also will be my salvation, For a godless man may not come before His presence.
[Job 13:15-16 LSB]

If a Man Dies, Will He Live Again?

[10] "But man dies and lies prostrate. Man breathes his last, and where is he? 

[11] "[As] water evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up, 

[12] So man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no longer, He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep. 

[Job 14:10-12 LSB]

Eliphaz Says Job’s Lips Answer Against Him

[14] "What is man, that he should be pure, Or he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
[15] "Behold, He puts no faith in His holy ones, And the heavens are not pure in His sight;
[16] How much less one who is abominable and corrupt, Man, who drinks unrighteousness like water!
[Job 15:14-16 LSB]

[17] 'Can mankind be right before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?

[18] 'He puts no trust even in His slaves; And against His angels He charges error.

[19] 'How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!

[Job 4:17-19 LSB]
