Job 17
Book of Job
Job 17:1 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
2 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their
provocation?
3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands
with me?
4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not
exalt them.
5 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall
fail.
6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself
against the hypocrite.
9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall
be stronger and stronger.
10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise
man among you.

Job said, for I cannot find one wise man among
you
11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
14 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my
mother, and my sister.
15 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the
dust.

2 Corinthians 5:8-10 We are confident, I say,
and willing rather to be absent from the body,
and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we
labour, that, whether present or absent, we may
be accepted of him. For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ; that every
one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be
good or bad.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
