And your life will be brighter than day; though it is dark, it will become like the morning.

With him are strength and wise designs; he who is guided into error, together with his guide, are in his hands;
He takes away the wisdom of the rulers of the earth, and sends them wandering in a waste where there is no way.
Increasing nations, and sending destruction on them; making wide the lands of peoples, and then giving them up.
Will not his glory put you in fear, so that your hearts will be overcome before him?
Job 13
Truly, he keeps back the waters and they are dry; he sends them out and the earth is overturned.
No doubt you have knowledge, and wisdom will come to an end with you.
But put now a question to the beasts, and get teaching from them; or to the birds of the heaven, and they will make it clear to you;
And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching.
Truly, there is no building up of what is pulled down by him; when a man is shut up by him, no one may let him loose.

And would make clear to you the secrets of wisdom, and the wonders of his purpose!
For in his eyes men are as nothing; he sees evil and takes note of it.
You may say, My way is clean, and I am free from sin in your eyes.
Longer in measure than the earth, and wider than the sea.
Are your words of pride to make men keep quiet? and are you to make sport, with no one to put you to shame?
If he goes on his way, shutting a man up and putting him to death, who may make him go back from his purpose?
But if only God would take up the word, opening his lips in argument with you;
Are you able to take God's measure, to make discovery of the limits of the Ruler of all?
Job 11
Then Zophar the Naamathite made answer and said,
