First Reading
Job 9:1-12, 14-16
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
9:1And Job answered, and said:
2Indeed I know it is so, and that man cannot be justified compared with
3If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one for a thousand.
4He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has resisted him, and has had peace$1
5Who has removed mountains, and they whom he overthrew in his wrath, knew it not.
6Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7Who commandeth tile sun and it rises not: and shutteth up the stars as it were under a seal:
8Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and walks upon the waves of the sea.
9Who makes Arcturus, and Orion, and Hyades, and the inner parts of the south.
10Who does things great and incomprehensible, and wonderful, of which there is no number.
11If he come to me, I shall not see him: if he depart I shall not understand.
12If he examine on a sudden, who shall answer him? or who can say: Why do you so?
14What am I then, that I should answer him, and have words with him?
15I, who although I should have any righteous thing, would not answer, but would make supplication to my judge.
16And if he should hear me when I call, I should not believe that he had heard my voice.
