Psalm 107:40: He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to<br />

wan<strong>de</strong>r in the wil<strong>de</strong>rness.<br />

21<br />

Job 3:3: Let the day perish in which I was born; and the night in which it<br />

was said, There is a man of strife.<br />

Jeremiah 15:10: Wo is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me, man-child<br />

conceived.<br />

Jeremiah 20:14, 15: Cursed be the day wherein I was also born-let not the<br />

Job 21:7: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, and mighty in power?<br />

Jeremiah 12:1, 2: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? they<br />

grow; yea, they bring forth fruit.<br />

Job 28:12: But where shall Collate these verses with wisdom be found,<br />

and where is Baruch 3:14, 15, 29, the place of un<strong>de</strong>rstanding? and see<br />

Proverbs 1:20-23; 2:2-7; Job 28:13: Man knoweth not Proverbs 3:13-18;<br />

4:5-9; the price thereof; neither is Proverbs 8:10-35. it found in the land of<br />

the living.<br />

The remarkable sentiment that “God, as Sovereign of the world, does treat<br />

the righteous and the wicked, in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>ntly of their respective merits,<br />

with a similar lot in this life, and that like events often happen to both,” is<br />

maintained in the Book of Job and the Ecclesiastes of Solomon. Job<br />

9:22-24: “He <strong>de</strong>stroyeth the perfect and the wicked. If the scourge slay<br />

sud<strong>de</strong>nly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. The earth is given into<br />

the hand of the wicked; he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not,<br />

where and who is he?” Job 10:15: “If I be wicked, wo unto me; and if I be<br />

righteous, yet will I not lift up my head.” Job 9:15: “Whom, though I were<br />

righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my<br />

Judge.” Job 12:6: “The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that<br />

provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.” Job<br />

21:7-9: “Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea are mighty in<br />

power? Their seed is established in their sight, and their offspring before<br />

their eyes. Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon<br />

them.”
