Job Quotes & Sayings

In the thought of one who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; it is ready for those whose feet slip. (Job 12:5, ESV) — Job

[God] can ask a thousand questions that no one could ever answer. — Job

nor from the soil does trouble sprout.
Human beings beget mischief
as sparks fly upward.

(Job 5:6-7) — Job

For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease.

But man dies, and is laid low; man breathes his last, and where is he? — Job
