God could tell you the secret of wisdom.\par He would tell you that\par every story has two sides.\par Job, listen to me,\par God is not punishing you\par as much as he should.\par
The darkest night is like morning\par for those evil people.\par Yes, they know the terrors of that\par deadly darkness very well!\par
I wish that day had stayed dark—\par as dark as death.\par I wish clouds would hide that day.\par I wish black clouds could\par scare away the light\par from the day I was born.\par
There is no place dark enough\par for evil people to hide from God.\par
Lord, I might try to hide from you and say,\par “The day has changed to night.\par Surely the darkness will hide me.”\par
But even darkness is not dark to you, Lord,\par The night is as bright as day to you.\par
Surely, God knows these things.\par He knows even our deepest secrets.\par
He knows hidden secrets\par that are hard to understand.\par Light lives with him,\par so he knows what is in the dark\par and secret places!\par
“So don’t be afraid of those people. Everything that is hidden will be shown. Everything that is secret will be made known.
God will help the people\par that live in darkness,\par in the fear of death.\par He will lead us in the way\par that goes toward peace.”\par
But God has shown us these things through the Spirit. {\cf2\super [15]}
So don’t judge before the right time; wait until the Lord comes. He will shine light on the things that are hidden in darkness. He will make known the secret purposes of people’s hearts. Then God will give every person the praise he should get.
