John 11:38-44

English Standard Version

Jesus Raises Lazarus

³⁸Then Jesus, ^(A)deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was ^(B)a cave, and ^(C)a stone lay against it. ³⁹Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for ^(D)he has been dead four days.” ⁴⁰Jesus said to her, ^(E)“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see ^(F)the glory of God?” ⁴¹So they took away the stone. And Jesus ^(G)lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. ⁴²^(H)I knew that you always hear me, but I said this ^(I)on account of the people standing around, ^(J)that they may believe that you sent me.” ⁴³When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” ⁴⁴^(K)The man who had died came out, ^(L)his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and ^(M)his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

Eliphaz Accuses: Job Does Not Fear God

15 Then ^(A)Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:

²“Should ^(B)a wise man answer with ^(C)windy knowledge,
    and fill his ^(D)belly with ^(E)the east wind?
³Should he argue in unprofitable talk,
    or in words with which he can do no good?
⁴But you are doing away with the fear of God^[a]
    and hindering meditation before God.
⁵For your iniquity teaches your mouth,
    and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
⁶Your ^(F)own mouth condemns you, and not I;
    ^(G)your own lips testify against you.

⁷^(H)“Are you the first man who was born?
    Or ^(I)were you brought forth ^(J)before the hills?
⁸Have you listened in ^(K)the council of God?
    And do you limit wisdom to yourself?
⁹^(L)What do you know that we do not know?
    What do you understand that is not clear to us?
¹⁰^(M)Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us,
    older than your father.
¹¹Are the comforts of God too small for you,
    or the word that deals gently with you?
¹²Why does your heart carry you away,
    and why do your eyes flash,
¹³that you turn your ^(N)spirit against God
    and bring such words out of your mouth?
¹⁴^(O)What is man, ^(P)that he can be pure?
    Or he who is ^(Q)born of a woman, that he can be righteous?
¹⁵Behold, God^[b] ^(R)puts no trust in his ^(S)holy ones,
    and the heavens are not pure in his sight;
¹⁶^(T)how much less one who is abominable and ^(U)corrupt,
    a man who ^(V)drinks injustice like water!
