1Then Job answered the Lord:

2“I know that you can do all things,and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.3You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand,things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.· · · verse 4 is not read5I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,but now my eye sees you.6Therefore I abhor myself,and repent in dust and ashes.”

· · · verses 7–11 are not read12So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning.He had fourteen thousand sheep,six thousand camels,one thousand yoke of oxen,and a thousand female donkeys.13He had also seven sons and three daughters.14He called the name of the first, Jemimah;and the name of the second, Keziah;and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.15In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job.Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.16After this Job lived one hundred forty years,and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons,to four generations.17So Job died, being old and full of days.

66Teach me good judgment and knowledge,for I believe in your commandments.

71It is good for me that I have been afflicted,that I may learn your statutes.

75Lord, I know that your judgments are righteous,that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

91Your laws remain to this day,for all things serve you.

125I am your servant. Give me understanding,that I may know your testimonies.

130The entrance of your words gives light.It gives understanding to the simple.

1In that hour the disciples came to Jesus,saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”

2Jesus called a little child to himself,and set him in the middle of them3and said, “Most certainly I tell you,unless you turn and become as little children,you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.4Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.5Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,· · · verses 6–9 are not read10See that you don’t despise one of these little ones,for I tell youthat in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
