Job 27:8-23
New International Version
8 For what hope have the godless(A) when they are cut off,
when God takes away their life?(B)
9 Does God listen to their cry
when distress comes upon them?(C)
10 Will they find delight in the Almighty?(D)
Will they call on God at all times?
11 “I will teach you about the power of God;
the ways(E) of the Almighty I will not conceal.(F)
12 You have all seen this yourselves.
Why then this meaningless talk?
13 “Here is the fate God allots to the wicked,
the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:(G)
14 However many his children,(H) their fate is the sword;(I)
his offspring will never have enough to eat.(J)
15 The plague will bury those who survive him,
and their widows will not weep for them.(K)
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust(L)
and clothes like piles of clay,(M)
17 what he lays up(N) the righteous will wear,(O)
and the innocent will divide his silver.(P)
18 The house(Q) he builds is like a moth’s cocoon,(R)
like a hut(S) made by a watchman.
19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;(T)
when he opens his eyes, all is gone.(U)
20 Terrors(V) overtake him like a flood;(W)
a tempest snatches him away in the night.(X)
21 The east wind(Y) carries him off, and he is gone;(Z)
it sweeps him out of his place.(AA)
22 It hurls itself against him without mercy(AB)
as he flees headlong(AC) from its power.(AD)
23 It claps its hands(AE) in derision
and hisses him out of his place.”(AF)
Job 35:13
New International Version
13 Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea;
the Almighty pays no attention to it.(A)
Psalm 34:15-22
New International Version
15 The eyes of the Lord(A) are on the righteous,(B)
and his ears are attentive(C) to their cry;
16 but the face of the Lord is against(D) those who do evil,(E)
to blot out their name(F) from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears(G) them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close(H) to the brokenhearted(I)
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

the Lord would not have listened;(A)

16 Therefore confess your sins(A) to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.(B) The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.(C)

19 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth(G) and someone should bring that person back,(H) 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save(I) them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.(J)
