New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 23
12 I have not departed from his commands, but have treasured his words more than daily food.
13 But once he has made his decision, who can change his mind? Whatever he wants to do, he does.
14 So he will do to me whatever he has planned. He controls my destiny.
15 No wonder I am so terrified in his presence. When I think of it, terror grips me.
16 God has made me sick at heart; the Almighty has terrified me.
17 Darkness is all around me; thick, impenetrable darkness is everywhere.
Job 24
1 “Why doesn’t the Almighty bring the wicked to judgment? Why must the godly wait for him in vain?
2 Evil people steal land by moving the boundary markers. They steal livestock and put them in their own pastures.
3 They take the orphan’s donkey and demand the widow’s ox as security for a loan.
4 The poor are pushed off the path; the needy must hide together for safety.
5 Like wild donkeys in the wilderness, the poor must spend all their time looking for food, searching even in the desert for food for their children.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
