Hello, and welcome
to His Words are Life.
00:00:16.23\00:00:17.96
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and today
we're going to continue reading
00:00:17.99\00:00:21.36
in the book of Job. But before
we start, let's pray together.
00:00:21.39\00:00:24.77
Dear God, as we read this story
of Job, right now, I ask that
00:00:24.80\00:00:31.18
you would please send the
Holy Spirit to each of us,
00:00:31.21\00:00:34.08
so that we may have a deeper
understanding of the lessons
00:00:34.11\00:00:38.15
that you have for us in these
words. Thank you for hearing
00:00:38.18\00:00:42.15
this prayer. Amen.
00:00:42.18\00:00:43.73
We're in the middle of the
discourse of Job and his friends
00:00:43.76\00:00:49.10
Job maintaining that even
though all of this terrible
00:00:49.13\00:00:54.82
tragedy has come into his
life- he has lost everything-
00:00:54.85\00:00:57.84
that it is not because of he
has not walked uprightly with
00:00:57.87\00:01:01.59
God, and yet his friends are
saying, There can't be any other
00:01:01.62\00:01:05.79
reason that
everything is going wrong.
00:01:05.82\00:01:08.02
And they're arguing back and
forth. They're debating this.
00:01:08.05\00:01:12.07
We're in the middle of chapter
37, and a young man named, Elihu
00:01:12.10\00:01:17.42
is making his point to Job,
as well. And Elihu was in the
00:01:17.45\00:01:21.98
middle of a listing of
all of this many things
00:01:22.01\00:01:25.00
that God can do. We're
starting in chapter 37, verse 9.
00:01:25.03\00:01:28.82
Out of the south cometh the
whirlwind: and cold out of the
00:01:28.85\00:01:34.74
north. By the breath
of God frost is given:
00:01:34.77\00:01:38.33
and the breadth of
the waters is straitened.
00:01:38.36\00:01:40.64
Also by watering he
wearieth the thick cloud:
00:01:40.67\00:01:44.67
he scattereth his bright cloud:
and it is turned round about
00:01:44.70\00:01:48.39
by his counsels: that they
may do whatsoever he commandeth
00:01:48.42\00:01:53.40
them upon the face of
the world in the earth.
00:01:53.43\00:01:55.67
He causeth it to come, whether
for correction, or for his land,
00:01:55.70\00:02:01.38
or for mercy. Hearken unto this,
O Job: stand still, and consider
00:02:01.41\00:02:08.09
the wondrous works of God. Dost
thou know when God disposed them
00:02:08.12\00:02:12.82
and caused the light
of his cloud to shine?
00:02:12.85\00:02:15.74
Dost thou know the
balancings of the clouds,
00:02:15.77\00:02:19.41
the wondrous works of him
which is perfect in knowledge?
00:02:19.44\00:02:23.34
How thy garments are warm, when
he quieteth the earth by the
00:02:23.37\00:02:27.53
south wind? Hast thou
with him spread out the sky,
00:02:27.56\00:02:31.89
which is strong, and
as a molten looking glass?
00:02:31.92\00:02:35.42
Teach us what we shall say unto
him; for we cannot order our
00:02:35.45\00:02:39.37
speech by reason of
darkness. Shall it be told him
00:02:39.40\00:02:43.97
that I speak? If a man speak,
surely he shall be swallowed up.
00:02:44.00\00:02:47.83
And now men see not the bright
light which is in the clouds:
00:02:47.86\00:02:51.78
but the wind
passeth, and cleanseth them.
00:02:51.81\00:02:54.44
Fair weather cometh out of
the north: with God is terrible
00:02:54.47\00:02:59.64
majesty. Touching the Almighty,
we cannot find him out:
00:02:59.67\00:03:04.64
he is excellent in
power, and in judgment,
00:03:04.67\00:03:08.40
and in plenty of
justice: he will not afflict.
00:03:08.43\00:03:13.15
Men do therefore fear
him: he respecteth not any
00:03:13.18\00:03:18.84
that are wise of
heart. - We're continuing now
00:03:18.87\00:03:23.35
in the book of Job, chapter 38,
This is the King James Version.
00:03:23.38\00:03:26.56
Then the Lord answered Job
out of the whirlwind, and said,
00:03:26.59\00:03:34.12
Who is this that darkeneth
counsel by words without
00:03:34.15\00:03:38.84
knowledge? Gird up
now thy loins like a man;
00:03:38.87\00:03:41.59
for I will demand of
thee, and answer thou me.
00:03:41.62\00:03:45.63
Where wast thou when I laid
the foundations of the earth?
00:03:45.66\00:03:48.17
Declare it, if
thou hast understanding.
00:03:48.20\00:03:51.71
Who hath laid the measures
thereof, if thou knowest?
00:03:51.74\00:03:56.02
or who hath stretched the
line upon it? Whereupon are the
00:03:56.05\00:04:00.41
foundations thereof fastened?
or who laid the corner stone
00:04:00.44\00:04:03.52
thereof; when the morning stars
sang together, and all the sons
00:04:03.55\00:04:08.53
of God shouted for joy? Or
who shut up the sea with doors,
00:04:08.56\00:04:13.20
when it brake forth, as if
it had issued out of the womb?
00:04:13.23\00:04:16.28
When I made the
cloud the garment thereof,
00:04:16.31\00:04:20.10
and thick darkness a
swaddlingband for it,
00:04:20.13\00:04:23.07
and brake up for it my decreed
place, and set bars and doors,
00:04:23.10\00:04:27.61
and said, Hitherto shalt
thou come, but no further:
00:04:27.64\00:04:30.94
and here shall thy proud waves
be stayed? Hast thou commanded
00:04:30.97\00:04:36.77
the morning since thy
days; and caused the dayspring
00:04:36.80\00:04:40.49
to know his place; that it
might take hold of the ends of
00:04:40.52\00:04:43.74
the earth, that the wicked
might be shaken out of it?
00:04:43.77\00:04:46.20
It is turned as clay to the seal
and they stand as a garment.
00:04:46.23\00:04:51.11
and from the wicked their light
is witholden, and the high arm
00:04:51.14\00:04:54.52
shall be broken. Hast thou
entered into the springs of
00:04:54.55\00:04:58.69
the sea? or hast thou walked
in the search of the depth?
00:04:58.72\00:05:02.84
Have the gates of
death been opened unto thee?
00:05:02.87\00:05:06.27
or hast thou seen the
doors of the shadow of death?
00:05:06.30\00:05:09.44
Hast thou perceived
the breadth of the earth?
00:05:09.47\00:05:12.96
declare if thou knowest it all.
Where is the way where light
00:05:12.99\00:05:19.47
dwelleth? and as for darkness,
where is the place thereof,
00:05:19.50\00:05:23.61
That thou shouldest take it
to the bound thereof, and that
00:05:23.64\00:05:26.38
thou shouldest know the
paths to the house thereof?
00:05:26.41\00:05:28.39
Knowest thou it,
because thou wast then born?
00:05:28.42\00:05:32.49
or because the
number of thy days is great?
00:05:32.52\00:05:35.48
Hast thou entered into
the treasures of the snow?
00:05:35.51\00:05:38.87
or hast thou seen the treasures
of the hail, which I have
00:05:38.90\00:05:42.06
reserved against the time
of trouble, against the day of
00:05:42.09\00:05:44.67
battle and war? By what
way is the light parted,
00:05:44.70\00:05:48.31
which scattereth the
east wind upon the earth?
00:05:48.34\00:05:50.54
Who hath divided a watercourse
for the overflowing of waters,
00:05:50.57\00:05:54.55
or a way for the lightning of
thunder; to cause it to rain on
00:05:54.58\00:05:59.81
the earth, where no man is;
on the wilderness, wherein there
00:05:59.84\00:06:03.17
is no man; to satisfy the
desolate and waste ground;
00:06:03.20\00:06:06.98
and to cause the bud of the
tender herb to spring forth?
00:06:07.01\00:06:09.65
Hath the rain a father? or who
hath begotten the drops of dew?
00:06:09.68\00:06:15.05
Out of whose womb came the ice?
and the hoary frost of heaven,
00:06:15.08\00:06:20.73
who hath gendered it? The
waters are hid as with a stone,
00:06:20.76\00:06:25.03
and the face of the deep
is frozen. Canst thou bind
00:06:25.06\00:06:27.56
the sweet influences of Pleiades
or loose the bands of Orion?
00:06:27.59\00:06:32.97
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth
in his season? or canst thou
00:06:33.00\00:06:37.78
guide Arcturus with his sons?
Knowest thou the ordinances
00:06:37.81\00:06:42.20
of heaven? canst thou set the
dominion thereof in the earth?
00:06:42.23\00:06:45.72
Canst thou lift up thy voice
to the clouds, that abundance of
00:06:45.75\00:06:50.09
waters may cover thee?
Canst thou send lightnings,
00:06:50.12\00:06:53.73
that they may go, and
say unto thee, Here we are?
00:06:53.76\00:06:56.80
Who hath put wisdom
in the inward parts?
00:06:56.83\00:07:00.64
or who hath given
understanding to the heart?
00:07:00.67\00:07:03.29
Who can number the clouds
in wisdom? or who can stay
00:07:03.32\00:07:06.65
the bottles of heaven, when
the dust groweth into hardness,
00:07:06.68\00:07:10.18
and the clods
cleave fast together?
00:07:10.21\00:07:12.69
Wilt thou hunt the prey for the
lion? or fill the appetite of
00:07:12.72\00:07:17.49
the young lions, when they
couch in their dens, and abide
00:07:17.52\00:07:20.50
in the covert to lie in wait?
Who provideth for the raven
00:07:20.53\00:07:24.61
his food? when his
young ones cry unto God,
00:07:24.64\00:07:27.23
they wander for lack of
meat. We're continuing in Job,
00:07:27.26\00:07:32.25
chapter 39. This is
the King James Version.
00:07:32.28\00:07:34.16
Knowest thou the time
when the wild goats of the rock
00:07:34.19\00:07:39.39
spring forth or canst thou
mark when the hinds do calve?
00:07:39.42\00:07:43.32
Canst thou number the
months that they fulfil?
00:07:43.35\00:07:46.69
or knowest thou the
time when they bring forth?
00:07:46.72\00:07:49.20
The bow themselves, they
bring forth their young ones,
00:07:49.23\00:07:52.40
they cast out their sorrows.
Their young ones are in good
00:07:52.43\00:07:55.53
liking, they grow up with corn;
they go forth, and return not
00:07:55.56\00:08:00.02
unto them. Who hath
sent out the wild ass free?
00:08:00.05\00:08:04.05
or who hath loosed
the bands of the wild ass?
00:08:04.08\00:08:07.19
whose house I have made the
wilderness, and the barren land
00:08:07.22\00:08:10.38
his dwellings. He scorneth
the multitude of the city,
00:08:10.41\00:08:14.03
neither regardeth he the crying
of the driver. The range of the
00:08:14.06\00:08:17.80
mountains is his pasture, and
he searcheth after every green
00:08:17.83\00:08:20.88
thing. Will the unicorn
be willing to serve thee,
00:08:20.91\00:08:24.79
or abide by thy crib? Canst thou
bind the unicorn with his band
00:08:24.82\00:08:30.19
in the furrow? or will he
harrow the valleys after thee?
00:08:30.22\00:08:33.49
Wilt thou trust him,
because his strength is great?
00:08:33.52\00:08:36.84
of wilt thou
leave thy labor to him?
00:08:36.87\00:08:38.50
Wilt thou believe him, that
he will bring home thy seed,
00:08:38.53\00:08:41.93
and gather it into thy barn?
Gavest thou the goodly wings
00:08:41.96\00:08:46.16
unto the peacocks? or wings
and feathers unto the ostrich?
00:08:46.19\00:08:50.82
which leaveth her eggs in the
earth, and warmeth them in dust,
00:08:50.85\00:08:54.20
and forgetteth that the foot
may crush them, or that the wild
00:08:54.23\00:08:57.27
beast may break them. She is
hardened against her young ones,
00:08:57.30\00:09:00.74
as though they were not
hers; her labor is in vain
00:09:00.77\00:09:03.75
without fear; because God
hath deprived her of wisdom,
00:09:03.78\00:09:06.67
neither hath he
imparted to her understanding.
00:09:06.70\00:09:08.78
What time she lifteth up herself
on high, she scorneth the horse
00:09:08.81\00:09:13.20
and his rider. Hast thou
given the horse strength?
00:09:13.23\00:09:16.31
Hast thou clothed
his neck with thunder?
00:09:16.34\00:09:18.74
Canst thou make him
afraid as a grasshopper?
00:09:18.77\00:09:21.98
the glory of his
nostrils is terrible.
00:09:22.01\00:09:24.35
He paweth in the valley,
and rejoiceth in his strength:
00:09:24.38\00:09:27.26
he goeth on to meet the
armed men. He mocketh at fear,
00:09:27.29\00:09:31.63
and is not affrighted; neither
turneth he back from the sword.
00:09:31.66\00:09:34.11
The quiver rattleth against him,
the glittering spear and the
00:09:34.14\00:09:38.23
shield. He swalloweth the
ground with fierceness and rage:
00:09:38.27\00:09:42.35
neither believeth he that
it is the sound of the trumpet.
00:09:42.38\00:09:46.10
He saith among the trumpets, Ha,
Ha; and he smelleth the battle
00:09:46.13\00:09:51.01
afar off, the thunder of
the captains, and the shouting.
00:09:51.04\00:09:53.64
Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom,
and stretch her wings toward
00:09:53.67\00:09:59.51
the south? Doth the
eagle mount up at thy command,
00:09:59.54\00:10:03.06
and make her nest on high? She
dwelleth and abideth on the rock
00:10:03.09\00:10:07.31
upon the crag of the
rock, and the strong place.
00:10:07.34\00:10:09.60
from thence she seeketh the
prey, and her eyes behold afar
00:10:09.63\00:10:13.02
off. Her young ones also suck up
blood: and where the slain are,
00:10:13.05\00:10:16.92
there is she.
Continuing in Job, chapter 40.
00:10:16.95\00:10:21.88
Moreover the Lord
answered Job, and said,
00:10:21.91\00:10:25.92
Shall he that contendeth
with the Almighty instruct him?
00:10:25.95\00:10:30.02
he that reproveth God, let
him answer it. Then Job answered
00:10:30.05\00:10:35.87
the Lord, and said, Behold, I am
vile; what shall I answer thee?
00:10:35.90\00:10:42.15
I will lay mine hand upon
my mouth. Once have I spoken;
00:10:42.18\00:10:47.80
but I will not answer:
yea, twice; but I will proceed
00:10:47.83\00:10:52.84
no further. Then answered
the Lord unto Job out of the
00:10:52.87\00:10:57.46
whirlwind, and said, Gird
up thy loins now like a man:
00:10:57.49\00:11:01.75
I will demand of thee,
and declare thou unto me.
00:11:01.78\00:11:05.02
Wild thou also
disannul my judgment?
00:11:05.05\00:11:08.13
wilt thou condemn me,
that thou mayest be righteous?
00:11:08.16\00:11:12.06
Hast thou an arm like God? or
canst thou thunder with a voice
00:11:12.09\00:11:15.64
like him? Deck thyself now
with majesty and excellency:
00:11:15.67\00:11:19.89
and array thyself with glory
and beauty. Cast abroad the rage
00:11:19.92\00:11:24.56
of thy wrath and behold
every one that is proud,
00:11:24.59\00:11:26.84
and abase him. Look on
every one that is proud,
00:11:26.87\00:11:30.85
and bring him low; and tread
down the wicked in their place.
00:11:30.88\00:11:33.89
Hide them in the dust together;
and bind their faces in secret.
00:11:33.92\00:11:37.34
Then will I also confess unto
thee that thine own right hand
00:11:37.37\00:11:42.34
can save thee. Behold now
behemoth, which I made with thee
00:11:42.37\00:11:47.58
he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now
his strength is in his loins,
00:11:47.61\00:11:53.30
and his force is in the navel
of his belly. He moveth his tail
00:11:53.33\00:11:57.91
like a cedar: the sinews of
his stones are wrapped together.
00:11:57.94\00:12:01.48
His bones are as strong pieces
of brass; his bones are like
00:12:01.51\00:12:04.66
bars of iron. He is the
chief of the ways of God:
00:12:04.69\00:12:08.38
He that made him can make
his sword to approach unto him.
00:12:08.41\00:12:12.74
Surely the mountains bring him
forth food, where all the beasts
00:12:12.77\00:12:16.52
of the field play. He
lieth under the shady trees,
00:12:16.55\00:12:19.74
in the covert of the reed, and
fens. The shady trees cover him
00:12:19.77\00:12:24.59
with their shadow; the willows
of the brook compass him about.
00:12:24.62\00:12:27.37
Behold, he drinketh up
a river, and hasteth not:
00:12:27.40\00:12:31.57
he trusteth that he can
draw up Jordan into his mouth.
00:12:31.60\00:12:35.43
He taketh it with his eyes: his
nose pierceth through snares.
00:12:35.46\00:12:40.98
Continuing in Job chapter 41.
This is the King James Version.
00:12:41.01\00:12:45.39
Canst thou draw out
leviathan with an hook?
00:12:45.42\00:12:49.94
or his tongue with a
cord, which thou lettest down?
00:12:49.97\00:12:53.04
Canst thou put an hook into his
nose? or bore his jaw through
00:12:53.07\00:12:57.19
with a thorn? Will he make
many supplications unto thee?
00:12:57.22\00:13:00.74
will he speak
soft words unto thee?
00:13:00.77\00:13:02.70
Will he make a covenant with
thee? wilt thou take him for a
00:13:02.73\00:13:05.52
servant for ever? Wilt thou
play with him as with a bird?
00:13:05.55\00:13:09.03
or wilt thou bind
him for thy maidens?
00:13:09.06\00:13:10.82
Shall the companions
make a banquet of him?
00:13:10.85\00:13:13.87
shall the part him
among the merchants?
00:13:13.90\00:13:15.92
Canst thou fill his
skin with barbed irons?
00:13:15.95\00:13:19.34
or his head with fish
spears? Lay thine hand upon him,
00:13:19.37\00:13:22.61
remember the battle, do no more.
00:13:22.64\00:13:25.06
behold, the hope of him is in
vain: shall not one be cast down
00:13:25.09\00:13:30.46
even at the sight of him? None
is so fierce that dare stir him
00:13:30.49\00:13:34.20
up: who then is
able to stand before me?
00:13:34.23\00:13:37.56
Who hath prevented me,
that I should repay him?
00:13:37.59\00:13:41.20
whatsoever is under
the whole heaven is mine.
00:13:41.23\00:13:43.92
I will not conceal his parts,
nor his power, nor his comely
00:13:43.95\00:13:47.54
proportion. Who can discover
the face of his garment?
00:13:47.57\00:13:50.69
Who can come to him
with his double bridle?
00:13:50.72\00:13:53.48
Who can open the doors of
his face? His teeth are terrible
00:13:53.51\00:13:57.13
round about. His scales are his
pride, shut up together as with
00:13:57.16\00:14:00.84
a close seal. One is so near
to another, that no air can come
00:14:00.87\00:14:04.50
between them. They
are joined one to another,
00:14:04.53\00:14:07.01
they stick together,
that they cannot be sundered.
00:14:07.04\00:14:09.50
By his neesings a light doth
shine, and his eyes are like the
00:14:09.53\00:14:13.07
eyelids of the morning. Out
of his mouth go burning lamps,
00:14:13.10\00:14:16.80
and sparks of fire leap out.
Out of his nostrils goeth smoke,
00:14:16.83\00:14:21.18
as out of a seething pot or
caldron. His breath kindleth
00:14:21.21\00:14:25.20
coals, and a flame
goeth out of his mouth.
00:14:25.23\00:14:27.67
In his neck remaineth strength,
and sorrow is turned into joy
00:14:27.70\00:14:32.30
before him. The flakes of
his flesh are joined together:
00:14:32.33\00:14:35.95
they are firm in themselves;
they cannot be moved.
00:14:35.98\00:14:39.38
