Job 4:6 (NAS)
Is not your fear of God your confidence, And the
integrity of your ways your hope?
Job 4:6 (NLT)
Does your reverence for God give you no confidence? Shouldn’t you
believe that God will care for those who are upright?
You know that you
can have confidence because you fear, honor, and revere Adonai. Those who
do not respect the Lord are given over to stupidity and folly. However,
you have been strengthened and given wisdom because of your attitude towards
God. As you trust in Jehovah, life comes forth from your loins and your
flanks are strengthened to stand.
The Lord has
made you upright, complete, and perfect. Through Yahweh, the
integrity of your being is sound and unimpaired. You know that He will
bring every area of your life to completion. At the end of your course, you can
have confidence that all concerning you will be finished and whole.
Integrity will mark the path that you take and you will lead others along the
way.
Therefore, keep
your expectation and hope in Jehovah, your Lord, for you know that the outcome
will be good. You have been bound to Him with the cord of His
love. Nothing can keep you from receiving what you are waiting for, as
long as you eagerly look to God and linger in His presence
