Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;

And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;

And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.

The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:

On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:

Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
