Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
