Job 11
Zophar, another of Job’s friends, speaks up. He criticizes Job for his many words and claims that Job's suffering is due to his hidden sin. Zophar wishes that God would speak and reveal the secrets of wisdom to Job, showing him the depth of his guilt. He asserts that God's wisdom is vast and beyond human understanding, and no one can fully comprehend His ways. Zophar urges Job to devote his heart to God, put away sin, and seek righteousness. He promises that if Job does this, he will forget his troubles, find hope, and be secure, with life brighter than noonday.

Psalm 18:1-6
I love You, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies. The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress, I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From His temple, He heard my voice; my cry came before Him, into His ears.

Proverbs 20:5
The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.

Matthew 7:1-14
Jesus teaches about judgment, asking, and the narrow and wide gates.

Judging Others: Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

Ask, Seek, Knock: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!

The Golden Rule: So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The Narrow and Wide Gates: Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
