Bible Reading for January 27

Job 38
[1] Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, [2] Who is this
that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? [3] Gird up now thy loins
like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
[4] Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou
hast understanding.
[5] Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched
the line upon it?
[6] Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner
stone thereof;
[7] When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for
joy?
[8] Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued
out of the womb?
[9] When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a
swaddlingband for it,
[10] And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, [11] And
said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves
be stayed?
[12] Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring
to know his place;
[13] That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be
shaken out of it?
[14] It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment. [15] And
from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
[16] Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the
search of the depth?
[17] Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors
of the shadow of death?
[18] Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it
all.
[19] Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the
place thereof,
[20] That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest
know the paths to the house thereof? [21] Knowest thou it, because thou wast
then born? or because the number of thy days is great?
[22] Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the
treasures of the hail,
[23] Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of
battle and war?
[24] By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the
earth?
[25] Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for
the lightning of thunder;
[26] To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness,
wherein there is no man;
[27] To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the
tender herb to spring forth?
[28] Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? [29] Out of
whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
[30] The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
[31] Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of
Orion?
[32] Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide
Arcturus with his sons?
[33] Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof
in the earth?
[34] Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may
cover thee?
[35] Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we
are?
[36] Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding
to the heart?
[37] Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of
heaven,
[38] When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
[39] Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young
lions,
[40] When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
[41] Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God,
they wander for lack of meat.

Job 39
[1] Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst
thou mark when the hinds do calve? [2] Canst thou number the months that they
fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
[3] They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their
sorrows.
[4] Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth,
and return not unto them.
[5] Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the
wild ass?
[6] Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
[7] He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of
the driver.
[8] The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every
green thing.
[9] Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? [10] Canst
thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the
valleys after thee?
[11] Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy
labour to him?
[12] Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it
into thy barn?
[13] Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto
the ostrich?
[14] Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, [15] And
forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
[16] She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her
labour is in vain without fear; [17] Because God hath deprived her of wisdom,
neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
[18] What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his
rider.
[19] Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with
thunder?
[20] Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is
terrible.
[21] He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to
meet the armed men.
[22] He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from
the sword.
[23] The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. [24]
He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it
is the sound of the trumpet. [25] He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he
smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
[26] Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
[27] Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? [28]
She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong
place.
[29] From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. [30] Her
young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.

Job 40
[1] Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, [2] Shall he that contendeth with
the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
[3] Then Job answered the LORD, and said, [4] Behold, I am vile; what shall I
answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
[5] Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed
no further.
[6] Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, [7] Gird up
thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
[8] Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest
be righteous?
[9] Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
[10] Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory
and beauty.
[11] Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and
abase him.
[12] Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the
wicked in their place.
[13] Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret. [14] Then
will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
[15] Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
[16] Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his
belly.
[17] He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped
together.
[18] His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
[19] He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to
approach unto him.
[20] Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the
field play.
[21] He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. [22]
The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass
him about.
[23] Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can
draw up Jordan into his mouth.
[24] He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

Job 41
[1] Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which
thou lettest down?
[2] Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
[3] Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto
thee?
[4] Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for
ever?
[5] Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy
maidens?
[6] Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the
merchants?
[7] Canst thou fill his skin with barbed iron? or his head with fish spears?
[8] Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. [9] Behold, the
hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
[10] None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before
me?
[11] Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the
whole heaven is mine.
[12] I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
[13] Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his
double bridle?
[14] Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
[15] His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. [16] One
is so near to another, that no air can come between them. [17] They are joined
one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
[18] By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of
the morning.
[19] Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. [20] Out
of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. [21] His
breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. [22] In his neck
remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
[23] The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves;
they cannot be moved.
[24] His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether
millstone.
[25] When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings
they purify themselves.
[26] The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor
the habergeon.
[27] He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. [28] The arrow
cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
[29] Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. [30]
Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
[31] He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of
ointment.
[32] He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
[33] Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. [34] He
beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

Job 42
[1] Then Job answered the LORD, and said, [2] I know that thou canst do every
thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
[3] Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered
that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
[4] Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare
thou unto me.
[5] I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth
thee.
[6] Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. [7] And it was so,
that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz
the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends:
for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
[8] Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my
servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job
shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your
folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my
servant Job.
[9] So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite
went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
[10] And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends:
also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. [11] Then came there
unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of
his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they
bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought
upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of
gold.
[12] So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he
had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of
oxen, and a thousand she asses.
[13] He had also seven sons and three daughters. [14] And he called the name of
the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the
third, Keren-happuch. [15] And in all the land were no women found so fair as
the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their
brethren. [16] After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his
sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. [17] So Job died, being old
and full of days.
