Job 6 Job responds to Eliphaz, expressing the weight of his suffering. He wishes his anguish could be weighed, feeling it outweighs the sands of the seas. He laments his lack of strength and inability to endure his pain. Job feels his friends are unreliable, comparing them to streams that vanish when needed most. He asks if he has asked for their help or if he has wronged them. Job desires to understand his faults if he has indeed sinned. He pleads for relief and understanding, expressing that his words are driven by deep despair. Psalm 14 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on the Lord. But there they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous. You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge. Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad! Proverbs 9:1-6 Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars. She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table. She has sent out her servants, and she calls from the highest point of the city, "Let all who are simple come to my house!" To those who have no sense, she says, "Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed. Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight." Matthew 4:23-25 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and He healed them. Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and the region across the Jordan followed Him. Mark 1:32-39 That evening after sunset, the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but He would not let the demons speak because they knew who He was. Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for Him, and when they found Him, they exclaimed, "Everyone is looking for You!" Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come." So He traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons. Luke 4:40-44 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying His hands on each one, He healed them. Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But He rebuked them and would not allow them to speak because they knew He was the Messiah. At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for Him and came to where He was. They tried to keep Him from leaving them, but He said, "I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent." And He kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

Job 5 Eliphaz continues speaking, urging Job to call out to God, suggesting no one else can help. He claims that affliction does not come from the dust but is a consequence of one's actions. Eliphaz advises Job to seek God and accept His correction, asserting that God delivers from trouble and brings blessings. He speaks of God's power to heal, protect, and bring prosperity, concluding that those who are corrected by God are blessed. Psalm 13 How long, Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, and my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in Your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in Your salvation. I will sing the Lord’s praise, for He has been good to me. Proverbs 8:32-36 Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways. Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it. Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord. But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death. Matthew 8:14 When Jesus came into Peter's house, He saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. Mark 1:21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.

Job 4 Eliphaz, one of Job's friends, speaks. He begins by expressing hesitation but feels compelled to respond. He reminds Job of his past teachings and encouragements to others in distress. Eliphaz suggests that Job’s suffering might be due to some sin, hinting that the innocent do not suffer as Job does. He shares a troubling vision he had, emphasizing that no one is righteous before God. Eliphaz encourages Job to seek God and accept His discipline. Psalm 12 Help, Lord, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished. People lie to one another, speaking with flattering lips and deceitful hearts. The Lord will rise up to protect the needy and oppressed from the wicked who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by society. The words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times. The Lord will keep the needy safe and protect them from the wicked forever. Proverbs 8:22-31 Wisdom speaks of her origins, saying the Lord created her at the beginning of His work, before His deeds of old. She was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be. Wisdom was present when God set the heavens in place, marked out the horizon, established the clouds, and fixed securely the fountains of the deep. She was there when He gave the sea its boundary and marked out the foundations of the earth. Wisdom was a craftsman at His side, filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in His presence and delighting in mankind. Matthew 4:18-22 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. Jesus said, "Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people." At once they left their nets and followed Him. Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him. Mark 1:16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

Job 3 Job, in his anguish, cursed the day of his birth. He wished he had never been born or had died at birth, desiring the peace of death over the suffering he faced. He lamented that those in misery long for death, which does not come. Job questioned why life is given to those in hardship and bitterness, expressing his deep sorrow and turmoil. Psalm 11 In the Lord, I take refuge. How can you say to me, "Flee like a bird to your mountain"? The wicked bend their bows, ready to shoot at the upright in heart. When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord is on His heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; His eyes examine them. The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence, He hates with a passion. On the wicked, He will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot. For the Lord is righteous, He loves justice; the upright will see His face. Proverbs 8:15-21 By me kings reign and rulers make laws that are just; by me princes govern, and nobles—all who rule on earth. I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me and making their treasuries full. Luke 4:14-30 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread through the whole countryside. He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised Him. He went to Nazareth, where He had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day, He went into the synagogue, as was His custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it is written: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor." Then He rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on Him. He began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." All spoke well of Him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from His lips. "Isn’t this Joseph’s son?" they asked. Jesus said to them, "Surely you will quote this proverb to me: 'Physician, heal yourself!' And you will tell me, 'Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.'" "Truly I tell you," He continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown. I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian." All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. They got up, drove Him out of the town, and took Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him off the cliff. But He walked right through the crowd and went on His way. John 4:46-54 Jesus visited Cana in Galilee, where He had turned water into wine. A royal official from Capernaum, whose son was ill, came to Him, asking Jesus to heal his son. Jesus remarked that people wouldn't believe unless they saw signs and wonders. The official pleaded for Jesus to come before his child died. Jesus told him to go; his son would live. The man believed Jesus and departed. On his way home, his servants met him with news that his son was living. He inquired when the boy got better and learned it was at the exact time Jesus had said he would live. The official and his whole household believed. This was the second sign Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.

Job 8 Bildad, another of Job’s friends, speaks. He argues that God does not pervert justice and suggests that Job's children must have sinned to deserve their fate. Bildad encourages Job to seek God and be pure and upright, promising that God will restore him. He uses examples from nature and history to illustrate that the wicked are like plants without water, flourishing for a time but quickly fading. Bildad emphasizes the importance of relying on God’s justice and suggests that if Job repents, he will once again know joy and prosperity. Psalm 16 Keep me safe, my God, for in You I take refuge. I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from You, I have no good thing.” The holy people in the land are the noble ones in whom is all my delight. Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips. Lord, You alone are my portion and my cup; You make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because You will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will You let Your faithful one see decay. You make known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand. Proverbs 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver! Matthew 5:17-48 Jesus teaches about the Law, emphasizing that He has come to fulfill it, not abolish it. He warns that anyone who sets aside the least of the commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus declares that unless righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, one will not enter the kingdom of heaven. He elaborates on various teachings: Murder: Anger towards a brother or sister is akin to murder. Reconciliation should precede offerings to God. Adultery: Lustful thoughts are equivalent to committing adultery in one’s heart. Radical measures should be taken to avoid sin. Divorce: Except for sexual immorality, anyone who divorces his wife causes her to commit adultery. Oaths: Avoid swearing oaths altogether. Let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' Eye for Eye: Do not resist an evil person. Offer the other cheek, go the extra mile, and give to those who ask. Love for Enemies: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Jesus calls for a higher standard of righteousness and love, encouraging His followers to embody the spirit of the law through compassion, integrity, and mercy.

Job 1 Job, a man from Uz, was blameless, upright, feared God, and shunned evil. He had seven sons, three daughters, and great wealth, including extensive livestock and servants. Job regularly made burnt offerings for his children, fearing they might have sinned. One day, Satan appeared before the Lord, who praised Job’s righteousness. Satan argued Job was faithful only because of his blessings. The Lord allowed Satan to test Job, sparing his life. In a series of disasters, Job lost his livestock, servants, and all his children. Despite his immense grief, Job did not sin or blame God. Psalm 10:10-13 The helpless fall prey to the wicked’s strength, and they are crushed. The wicked say in their hearts that God has forgotten and will never see it. Rise up, Lord, lift up Your hand. Do not forget the afflicted. Why does the wicked man despise God and say to himself, “He will not call me to account”? Proverbs 8:5-11 Gain prudence, you who are simple, and gain understanding, you who are foolish. Listen, for wisdom speaks noble things and opens her lips to speak what is right. Wisdom's mouth utters truth, and wickedness is detestable to her lips. All her words are righteous; none are crooked or perverse. They are straightforward to those who understand and right to those who find knowledge. Choose instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire compares with her. John 4:1-42 Jesus, learning that the Pharisees heard about His growing following, left Judea for Galilee, passing through Samaria. At Jacob’s well, He met a Samaritan woman and asked her for a drink. She was surprised, as Jews didn’t associate with Samaritans. Jesus spoke of living water, which would prevent thirst forever. The woman asked for this water, so Jesus told her to call her husband, revealing her five past husbands and current unmarried situation. Recognizing Him as a prophet, she discussed worship with Jesus, who revealed the true worshipers would worship in spirit and truth. Jesus disclosed He was the Messiah. The woman shared this with her town, leading many to believe. Jesus stayed two days, teaching, and many more believed, acknowledging Him as the Savior of the world.

Matthew 4:12-17 When Jesus heard that John the Baptist had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee. Leaving Nazareth, He went to live in Capernaum by the sea, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy about the land of Zebulun and Naphtali seeing a great light. From that time on, Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." Mark 1:14-15 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. He said, "The time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"

Herod added to his sins by locking John up in prison. John 4:43-45 After two days in Samaria, Jesus left for Galilee. He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. When He arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him, having seen all He had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival. Job 2 Satan appeared again before the Lord, who praised Job's integrity despite his suffering. Satan argued that Job would curse God if afflicted physically. The Lord permitted Satan to harm Job but spared his life. Job was struck with painful sores from head to toe. His wife urged him to curse God and die, but Job refused, maintaining his integrity. Job’s three friends, Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, came to comfort him. They were shocked at his condition and sat with him in silence for seven days and nights, mourning with him. Psalm 10:14-18 But You, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; You consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to You; You are the helper of the fatherless. Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; call him to account for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found out. The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from His land. You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted; You encourage them, and You listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror. Proverbs 8:12-14 I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion. To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior, and perverse speech. Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power.

Psalm 9:15-20 The nations have fallen into the pit they dug; their feet are caught in the net they hid. The Lord is known by His acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by their own actions. The wicked will return to the grave—all the nations that forget God. The needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. Jesus further explained the need for spiritual rebirth and belief in the Son of Man, who must be lifted up. God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. God sent His Son to save, not condemn, the world. Those who believe in Him are not condemned, but those who do not believe stand condemned. Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Those who live by the truth come into the light, so their deeds may be seen as done in God.

Genesis 11:1-9 The entire earth had one language and speech. People migrated east, found a plain in Shinar, and settled there. They decided to build a city and a tower reaching to the heavens to make a name for themselves and avoid being scattered across the earth. The Lord observed their unified effort and confused their language, causing them not to understand each other. Consequently, the people were scattered across the earth, and the city was named Babel because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. Psalm 9:7-14 The Lord reigns forever, establishing His throne for judgment. He judges the world with righteousness and governs with justice.

Sing praises to the Lord, proclaim His deeds among the nations. He remembers the cry of the afflicted. Have mercy, O Lord, and see my suffering from those who hate me, lifting me from the gates of death to declare Your praises.

The Jews asked for a sign to prove His authority. Jesus said, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it in three days," referring to His body. After He rose from the dead, His disciples recalled this and believed the Scripture and His words. During Passover, many believed in His name, seeing the signs He performed, but Jesus did not fully entrust Himself to them, knowing human nature.

Badgers are fascinating creatures that many people have heard of but rarely encounter in the wild. Although they may look cute from afar, it's best to observe them from a distance to avoid any feisty encounters! To help you learn more about these elusive animals without risking a close encounter, here are some intriguing facts: 🌟There are actually eleven different species of badgers worldwide, each with its unique characteristics and habitats. 🐾 They belong to the Mustelidae family. Badgers are part of a diverse family that includes other animals like weasels, otters, ferrets, and minks. 📝 Depending on where they live, badgers have different names for their family members. For example, in North America, a baby badger is called a kit, while in Europe, it's called a cub. 🕳️ Badgers are known for their impressive digging abilities, using their strong claws to excavate their underground homes and search for food. 🧼 Despite living underground, badgers are surprisingly clean animals, regularly replacing bedding and maintaining separate bathroom areas. 😴 They don't hibernate. Unlike many other burrowing animals, badgers remain active throughout the year, although they may slow down during the colder months. 🦊 American badgers and coyotes often team up during hunting, utilizing their different strengths to catch prey more effectively. 🚫 Badgers are protected in some regions. In the UK, badgers are legally protected, although they are sometimes culled due to concerns about disease transmission. 🐍 Honey badgers, in particular, are known for their fearless nature and can even hunt venomous snakes without hesitation. 🏡 European badger burrows are like mansions underground! These guys like to live together in big groups called clans. To house all those badgers, they need some seriously big homes, called setts. These setts can be so massive that they have as many as fifty different entrances. These setts can last for more than 100 years! It takes generations of badgers working together to carve out these massive underground homes. By learning more about these remarkable animals, we can appreciate their role in the natural world and work to ensure their continued protection for future generations.
