The Value of Keeping Shut

Pentax Optio S50

"This was the answer Job gave to Yahweh:

"I know that you are all powerful;
no plan of yours can be thwarted.
I spoke of things I did not understand,
too wonderful for me to know.
My ears had heard of you,
but now my eyes have seen you.
Therefore I retract all I have said,
and in dust and ashes I repent.

"Yahweh blessed Job's latter days much more than his earlier ones. He came to own fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys. He was also blessed with sevensons and three daughters. The first daughter he named Dove, the second Cinnamon, and the third Bottle of Perfume. Nowhere in the land was there found any woman who could compare in beauty with Job's daughters. Their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.

"Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. He died old and full of years."

JOB 42:1-3,5-6,12-17

"Father, teach me to control my tongue and judgment."
