And life will be brighter than the noonday; though there be darkness, it will be like the morning.

As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and that as the last he will stand upon the earth.

But God drags off the mighty by his power; when God rises up against him, he has no faith in his life.

Can his armies be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?

He leans against his house but it does not hold up, he takes hold of it but it does not stand.

so man lies down and does not rise; until the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor arise from their sleep.

He will not grow rich, and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the land.

Before daybreak the murderer rises up; he kills the poor and the needy; in the night he is like a thief.

then what will I do when God confronts me in judgment; when he intervenes, how will I respond to him?
