Job 6

6:1 Then Job answered and said,
6:2 Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances!
6:3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: Therefore have my words been rash.
6:4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
6:5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6:6 Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
6:7 My soul refuseth to touch them; They are as loathsome food to me.
6:8 Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
6:9 Even that it would please God to crush me; That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
6:10 And be it still my consolation, Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
6:11 What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is mine end, that I should be patient?
6:12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass?
6:13 Is it not that I have no help in me, And that wisdom is driven quite from me?
6:14 To him that is ready to faint kindness should be showed from his friend; Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
6:15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away;
6:16 Which are black by reason of the ice, And wherein the snow hideth itself:
6:17 What time they wax warm, they vanish; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
6:18 The caravans that travel by the way of them turn aside; They go up into the waste, and perish.
6:19 The caravans of Tema looked, The companies of Sheba waited for them.
6:20 They were put to shame because they had hoped; They came thither, and were confounded.
6:21 For now ye are nothing; Ye see a terror, and are afraid.
6:22 Did I say, Give unto me? Or, Offer a present for me of your substance?
6:23 Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?
6:24 Teach me, and I will hold my peace; And cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
6:25 How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what doth it reprove?
6:26 Do ye think to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind?
6:27 Yea, ye would cast lots upon the fatherless, And make merchandise of your friend.
6:28 Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; For surely I shall not lie to your face.
6:29 Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; Yea, return again, my cause is righteous.
6:30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern mischievous things?

Psalm 48

48:1 A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
48:2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, The city of the great King.
48:3 God hath made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
48:4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, They passed by together.
48:5 They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.
48:6 Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.
48:7 With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. [Selah
48:9 We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.
48:10 As is thy name, O God, So is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
48:11 Let mount Zion be glad, Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of thy judgments.
48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her; Number the towers thereof;
48:13 Mark ye well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces: That ye may tell it to the generation following.
48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide even unto death.

1 Corinthians 1:10-17

1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1:11 For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them that are of the household of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1:12 Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?
1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius;
1:15 lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name.
1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
