Job 35 (AMP)

Job Chapter 35 (AMP)

Compare with Version:

¹ "Look, [this is] the man who would not make God his strength [his stronghold and fortress], But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Taking refuge in his wealth."

² But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust [confidently] in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

³ I will thank You forever, because You have done it, [You have rescued me and kept me safe]. I will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.

⁴ To the Chief Musician; in a mournful strain. A skillful song, or didactic or reflective poem of David. The [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt and evil, and have committed repulsive injustice; There is no one who does good.

⁵ God has looked down from heaven upon the children of men To see if there is anyone who understands, Who seeks after God [who requires Him, who longs for Him as essential to life].

⁶ Every one of them has turned aside and fallen away; Together they have become filthy and corrupt; There is no one who does good, no, not even one.

⁷ Have workers of wickedness no knowledge or no understanding? They eat up My people as though they ate bread And have not called upon God.

⁸ There they were, in great terror and dread, where there had been no terror or dread; For God scattered the bones of him who besieged you; You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

⁹ Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores [the fortunes of] His people, Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

¹⁰ To the Chief Musician; with stringed instruments. A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem, of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "David is hiding among us." Save me, O God, by Your name; And vindicate me by Your [wondrous] power.

¹¹ Hear my prayer, O God; Listen to the words of my mouth.

¹² For strangers have risen against me And violent men have sought my life; They have not set God before them. Selah.

¹³ Behold, God is my helper and ally; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul [my upholder].

¹⁴ He will pay back the evil to my enemies; In Your faithfulness destroy them.

¹⁵ With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks and praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

¹⁶ For He has rescued me from every trouble, And my eye has looked with satisfaction (triumph) on my enemies.
