But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

He has alienated my family from me; my acquaintances are completely estranged from me. My relatives have gone away; my closest friends have forgotten me.
— Job 19:13-14 -
God assails me and tears me in his anger and gnashes his teeth at me; my opponent fastens on me his piercing eyes. People open their mouths to jeer at me; they strike my cheek in scorn and unite together against me. God has turned me over to the ungodly and thrown me into the clutches of the wicked.
— Job 16:9-11 -
A person’s days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed.
— Job 14:5 -
But I desire to speak to the Almighty and to argue my case with God.
— Job 13:3 -
To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.
— Job 12:13 -
Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
— Job 11:7-9 -
You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit.
— Job 10:12
