New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 27
18 The wicked build houses as fragile as a spider’s web, as flimsy as a shelter made of branches.
19 The wicked go to bed rich but wake to find that all their wealth is gone.
20 Terror overwhelms them like a flood, and they are blown away in the storms of the night.
21 The east wind carries them away, and they are gone. It sweeps them away.
22 It whirls down on them without mercy. They struggle to flee from its power.
23 But everyone jeers at them and mocks them.
Job 28
1 “People know where to mine silver and how to refine gold.
2 They know where to dig iron from the earth and how to smelt copper from rock.
3 They know how to shine light in the darkness and explore the farthest regions of the earth as they search in the dark for ore.
4 They sink a mine shaft into the earth far from where anyone lives. They descend on ropes, swinging back and forth.
5 Food is grown on the earth above, but down below, the earth is melted as by fire.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
