Job 17 Psalm 18:43-45 Proverbs 11:12 Matthew Mark Luke Daily Bible Audio Reading

Job continues his lament, expressing his despair and loss of hope. He feels that his spirit is broken and his days are extinguished. He speaks of his suffering and how his friends have turned against him, offering no understanding or support. Job sees himself as a byword among people, and he is mocked. He laments the injustice he perceives in his situation and the hopelessness of finding any relief. Despite his anguish, Job maintains his plea for justice and vindication.

Psalm 18:43-45
You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; You have made me the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me. Foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me. They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.

Proverbs 11:12
Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense, but the one who has understanding holds their tongue.
