(5:33) (3:02) ELIPHAZ SPEAKS:
(7:58) THE INNOCENT PROSPER (1:17) (7:05)
(1:06) Isn't your piety your confidence, and the integrity of your life your hope? Consider: Who has perished when he was innocent? Where have the honest been destroyed?
(5:45) However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him.
Pero yo, en cambio, apelaría a Dios y a la Divinidad confiaría mi causa (0:35) Indeed, you have instructed many and have strengthened weak hands.
In my experience, those who plow injustice and those who sow trouble reap the same (2:11) A word was brought to me in secret; my ears caught a whisper of it. Among unsettling thoughts from visions in the night, when deep sleep comes over men…I felt a draft on my face, and the hair on my body stood up. A figure stood there, but I could not recognize its appearance; a form loomed before my eyes. I heard a whispering voice:
"Can a mortal be righteous before God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker?"
(3:24) If God puts no trust in his servants and he charges his angels with foolishness, how much more those who dwell in clay houses, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth!
Job 5 (4:19) Call out! Will anyone answer you? Which of the holy ones will you turn to? For anger kills a fool, and jealousy slays the gullible (4:50) His children are far from safety. They are crushed at the city gate, with no one to rescue them…
(5:33) But humans are born for trouble as surely as sparks fly upward. (Pero el hombre nace para el sufrimiento, así como las chispas vuelan hacia arriba.)
However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him. (Pero yo, en cambio, apelaría a Dios y a la Divinidad confiaría mi causa.)
(6:18) He sets the lowly on high, and mourners are lifted to safety. He saves the needy from their sharp words and from the clutches of the powerful.
So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
(7:29) See how happy is the person whom God corrects; so do not reject the discipline of the Almighty. For he wounds but he also bandages; he strikes, but his hands also heal.
He will rescue you from six calamities; no harm will touch you in seven. In famine he will redeem you from death, and in battle, from the power of the sword. You will be safe from slander and not fear destruction when it comes. You will laugh at destruction and hunger and not fear the land's wild creatures. (8:48) For you will have a covenant with the the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
(9:17) You will also know that your offspring will be many and your descendants like the grass of the earth. You will approach the grave in full vigor, as a stack of sheaves is gathered in its season.
We have investigated this, and it is true! Hear it and understand it for yourself. (Esto es lo que hemos investigado, y así es. Escúchalo tú y conócelo para tu bien.)
(5:51) “As the Deer [panteth (6:03) for the water, so my soul longeth after Thee, You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship Thee]” based on Psalm 42:1, was composed in 1984 by Seattle native Martin J. Nystrom. This piano arrangement by Carl Seal (Maranatha Music), is performed by CheeSookWan 朱素云 PurelyPianoPraise and was uploaded to her YouTube channel on March 25, 2023. It is also available for download at her Piano Preludes podcast from LifeChurchMissions.
(6:55) You're my friend and You are my brother, even though You are a King; I love you more than any other, so much more than anything. Chorus (6:27) (7:22) (8:37)
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts’ desire,
And I long to worship Thee.
(7:49) I want You more than gold or silver, only You can satisfy. You alone are the real joy Giver, and the apple of my eye.
