From Job

Job 1:1

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

In the land of Uz lived a man named Job. He was a model of perfection and integrity, a man who revered God and consciously avoided all evil.

Job 12:9

Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?

Isn't it clear to everyone that all this is God's doing?

Job 22:16

Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

Those who were prematurely taken away, their very roots washed away by a devastating flood.

Job 33:22

Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

Indeed, his spirit is on the brink of death, and his life is close to its end.
