Job -- 16

{1} Then Job answered and said,
{2} I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
{3} Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
{4} I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
{5} But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
{6} Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
{7} But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
{8} And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
{9} He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
{10} They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
{11} God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
{12} I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
{13} His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
{14} He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
{15} I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
{16} My face is foul with weeping, and my eyelids is the shadow of death;
{17} Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
{18} O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
{19} Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
{20} My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
{21} O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
{22} When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

Job -- 17

{1} My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
{2} Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
{3} Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
{4} For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
{5} He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
{6} He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
{7} Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
{8} Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
{9} The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
{10} But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
{11} My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
{12} They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
{13} If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
{14} I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou are my mother, and my sister.
{15} And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
{16} They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

Job -- 18

{1} Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
{2} How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
{3} Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
{4} He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
{5} Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
{6} The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
{7} The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
{8} For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
{9} The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
{10} The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
{11} Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
{12} His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
{13} It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
{14} His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
{15} It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
{16} His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
{17} His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
{18} He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
{19} He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
{20} They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
{21} Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Acts -- 10

{1} There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
{2} A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
{3} He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
{4} And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
{5} And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
{6} He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
{7} And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
{8} And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
{9} On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
{10} And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
{11} And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
{12} Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
{13} And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
{14} But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
{15} And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
{16} This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
{17} Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
{18} And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
{19} While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
{20} Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
{21} Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
{22} And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
{23} Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
{24} And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
{25} And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
{26} But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
{27} And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
{28} And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
{29} Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
{30} And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
{31} And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
{32} Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
{33} Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
{34} Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
{35} But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
{36} The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
{37} That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
{38} How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
{39} And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
{40} Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
{41} Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
{42} And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
{43} To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
{44} While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
{45} And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
{46} For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
{47} Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
{48} And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
