Job 38:1–11

            ¹Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

 

²                       “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

³                       Dress for action like a man;

                          I will question you, and you make it known to me.

 

⁴                       “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?

                          Tell me, if you have understanding.

⁵                       Who determined its measurements—surely you know!

                          Or who stretched the line upon it?

⁶                       On what were its bases sunk,

                          or who laid its cornerstone,

⁷                       when the morning stars sang together

                          and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

 

⁸                       “Or who shut in the sea with doors

                          when it burst out from the womb,

⁹                       when I made clouds its garment

                          and thick darkness its swaddling band,

¹⁰                      and prescribed limits for it

                          and set bars and doors,

¹¹                      and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,

                          and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?

 

2 Corinthians 6:1–13

            ¹ Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. ²For he says,

 

                        “In a favorable time I listened to you,

                          and in a day of salvation I have helped you.”

 

Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. ³We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, ⁴but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, ⁵beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; ⁶by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love; ⁷by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; ⁸through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; ⁹as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed; ¹⁰as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.

            ¹¹We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open. ¹²You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. ¹³In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also.

 

Mark 4:35–41

            ³⁵On that day, when evening had come, [Jesus] said to them,  “Let us go across to the other side.” ³⁶And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. ³⁷And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. ³⁸But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” ³⁹And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea,  “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. ⁴⁰He said to them,  “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” ⁴¹And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?”
