Job 26 Psalm 22:12-21 Proverbs 24:11 Luke 11:27-36 Audio Bible Verse Daily Scripture

Job responds to Bildad, sarcastically remarking on his unhelpful counsel. Job then praises God's power and majesty, describing His control over the natural world. He speaks of God's creation and sustenance of the earth, His power over the waters, the heavens, and the boundaries of light and darkness. Job concludes by saying that these are just the outer fringes of God's ways, and how faint the whisper we hear of Him, implying that God's true power and wisdom are beyond human understanding.

Psalm 22:12-21
Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. Roaring lions that tear their prey open their mouths wide against me. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me. My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; You lay me in the dust of death. Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet. All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment. But You, Lord, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. Deliver me from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs. Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen.

Proverbs 24:11
Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.

Luke 11:27-36
As Jesus was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave You birth and nursed You." Jesus replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

Jesus continues teaching, saying that this generation seeks a sign, but none will be given except the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. Jesus speaks of the Queen of the South and the people of Nineveh rising at the judgment and condemning this generation, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here.

Jesus teaches about the lamp of the body, saying that no one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, but on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. He explains that the eye is the lamp of the body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when they are unhealthy, your body is full of darkness. Therefore, see to it that the light within you is not darkness. If your whole body is full of light and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.
