Job 41 Psalm 30:6-12 Proverbs 11:15 Matthew 10:5-42 Holy Scripture Audio Bible Reading

God continues speaking to Job, describing the mighty Leviathan, a powerful and fearsome sea creature. He emphasizes the creature's strength, impenetrable scales, fearsome teeth, and fiery breath. God highlights that no one can tame Leviathan and that it is beyond human control. This serves to illustrate God's unmatched power and the futility of questioning His wisdom.

Psalm 30:6-12:
David recounts how, in his prosperity, he felt secure but then experienced distress. He cried out to the Lord, who turned his mourning into dancing and removed his sackcloth, clothing him with joy. David pledges to praise God and give thanks forever, recognizing God's mercy and deliverance.

Proverbs 11:15:
Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but whoever refuses to shake hands in pledge is safe.

Matthew 10:5-42:
Jesus sends out the twelve disciples, instructing them to go to the lost sheep of Israel, proclaim the kingdom of heaven, heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, and drive out demons. He advises them to travel light, relying on hospitality, and to be shrewd and innocent. Jesus warns of persecution, betrayal, and hatred for His name's sake but encourages them to endure. He assures them of God's care, tells them not to fear, and emphasizes the cost of discipleship, urging them to take up their cross and follow Him. Those who welcome them will receive a reward, and even small acts of kindness, like giving a cup of cold water, will be acknowledged.
