While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and took them and slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
“I am accounted wicked,
Why then should I toil in vain?
“You also open Your eyes on him
And bring him into judgment with Yourself.
“These ten times you have insulted me;
You are not ashamed to wrong me.
“This is the wicked man’s portion from God,
Even the heritage decreed to him by God.”
“One dies in his full strength,
Being wholly at ease and satisfied;
“Behold, all of you have seen it;
Why then do you act foolishly?
“This is the portion of a wicked man from God,
And the inheritance which tyrants receive from the Almighty.
“But where can wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
“Where then does wisdom come from?
And where is the place of understanding?
“Be careful, do not turn to evil,
For you have preferred this to affliction.
“Who is this that darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
“Where is the way to the dwelling of light?
And darkness, where is its place,
“Where is the way that the light is divided,
Or the east wind scattered on the earth?
‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
“Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.”
This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face—even Jacob.
Selah.
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in battle.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory.
Selah.
Who is the man who fears the Lord?
He will instruct him in the way he should choose.
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
And saved him out of all his troubles.
For such is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will guide us until death.
This is the way of those who are foolish,
And of those after them who approve their words.
Selah.
Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call;
This I know, that God is for me.
The earth quaked;
The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;
Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old,
Which You have redeemed to be the tribe of Your inheritance;
And this Mount Zion, where You have dwelt.
But God is the Judge;
He puts down one and exalts another.
So He brought them to His holy land,
To this hill country which His right hand had gained.
“I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me;
Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia:
‘This one was born there.’ ”
The Lord will count when He registers the peoples,
“This one was born there.”
Selah.
The mountains rose; the valleys sank down
To the place which You established for them.
There is the sea, great and broad,
In which are swarms without number,
Animals both small and great.
There the ships move along,
And Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.
This is the gate of the Lord;
The righteous will enter through it.
This is the day which the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
When he has no sense?
Listen to your father who begot you,
And do not despise your mother when she is old.
If you say, “See, we did not know this,”
Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts?
And does He not know it who keeps your soul?
And will He not render to man according to his work?
