John 11:38-44

New International Version

Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead

³⁸Jesus, once more deeply moved,^(A) came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.^(B) ³⁹“Take away the stone,” he said.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”^(C)

⁴⁰Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe,^(D) you will see the glory of God?”^(E)

⁴¹So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up^(F) and said, “Father,^(G) I thank you that you have heard me. ⁴²I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here,^(H) that they may believe that you sent me.”^(I)

⁴³When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”^(J) ⁴⁴The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen,^(K) and a cloth around his face.^(L)

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

New International Version

Eliphaz

15 Then Eliphaz the Temanite^(A) replied:

²“Would a wise person answer with empty notions
    or fill their belly with the hot east wind?^(B)
³Would they argue with useless words,
    with speeches that have no value?^(C)
⁴But you even undermine piety
    and hinder devotion to God.^(D)
⁵Your sin^(E) prompts your mouth;^(F)
    you adopt the tongue of the crafty.^(G)
⁶Your own mouth condemns you, not mine;
    your own lips testify against you.^(H)

⁷“Are you the first man ever born?^(I)
    Were you brought forth before the hills?^(J)
⁸Do you listen in on God’s council?^(K)
    Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?^(L)
⁹What do you know that we do not know?
    What insights do you have that we do not have?^(M)
¹⁰The gray-haired and the aged^(N) are on our side,
    men even older than your father.^(O)
¹¹Are God’s consolations^(P) not enough for you,
    words^(Q) spoken gently to you?^(R)
¹²Why has your heart^(S) carried you away,
    and why do your eyes flash,
¹³so that you vent your rage^(T) against God
    and pour out such words^(U) from your mouth?^(V)

¹⁴“What are mortals, that they could be pure,
    or those born of woman,^(W) that they could be righteous?^(X)
¹⁵If God places no trust in his holy ones,^(Y)
    if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,^(Z)
¹⁶how much less mortals, who are vile and corrupt,^(AA)
    who drink up evil^(AB) like water!^(AC)
