[6] How much less mortal man, [that] maggot, And the son of man, [that] worm!"

Job 1-3

Job Was Greatest of the Sons of the East

[5] Now it happened when the days of feasting had completed their cycle, that Job would send and set them apart as holy. And he would rise up early in the morning and offer burnt offerings [according to] the number of them all; for Job said, "Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did continually. [Job 1:5 LSB]

[8] Then Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you set your heart upon My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil." [Job 1:8 LSB]

[9] These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among [those in] his generations; Noah walked with God. [Gen 6:9 LSB]

Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away.

Blessed be the name of Yahweh." 

[22] Through all this Job did not sin, nor did he give offense to God. [Job 1:20-22 LSB]

Satan Strikes Job’s Flesh

[6] So Yahweh said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand, only spare his life." [Job 2:6 LSB]

Christ’s Humility and Exaltation

[5] Have this [way of] thinking in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, [6] who, although existing in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, [7] but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a slave, by being made in the likeness of men. [8] Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. [Phl 2:5-8 LSB]

Timothy and Epaphroditus Sent

Righteousness Through Faith in Christ

[8] More than that, I count all things to be loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ [9] and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own which is from [the] Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which [is] from God upon faith, [10] that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, [11] in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. [Phl 3:8-11 LSB]

[Num 20:11-12 LSB] 11 Then Moses raised high his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation and their beasts drank. 12 But Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not believe Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."

[7] Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not consume the fruit of it? Or who shepherds a flock and does not consume the milk of the flock? [8] Am I speaking these things according to human judgment? Or does not the Law also say these things? [9] For it is written in the Law of Moses, "YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE IT IS THRESHING."
