and

die

.

But

he

,

looking

upon

her

,

said

,

Thou

speakest

as

one

of

the

foolish

women

.

If

we

have

received

good

things

from

the

Lord’s

hand

,

why

shall

we

not

endure

evil

things

?

In

all

these

things

which

happened

unto

him

,

Job

sinned

not

with

his

lips

in

the

sight

of

the

Lord

.

”

Also

in

the

same

place

:

“

Hast

thou

regarded

my

servant

Job

?

for

there

is

none

like

unto

him

in

the

earth

:

a

man

without

complaint

:

a

true

worshipper

of

God

,

restraining

himself

from

all

evil

.

”

Of

the

same

thing

in

the

thirty

-

third

Psalm

:

“

I

will

bless

the

Lord

at

all

times

:

His

praise

shall

ever

be

in

my

mouth

.

”

Of

this

same

thing

in

Numbers

:

“

Let

their

murmuring

cease

from

me

,

and

they

shall

not

die

.

”

Of

this

same

thing

in

the

Acts

of

the

Apostles

:

“

But

about

the

middle

of

the

night

Paul

and

Silas

prayed

and

gave

thanks

to

God

,

and

the

prisoners

heard

them

.

”

Also

in

the

Epistle

of

Paul

to

the

Philippians

:

“

But

doing

all

things

for

love

,

without

murmurings

and

revilings

,

that

ye

may

be

without

complaint

,

and

spotless

sons

of

God

.
