Job 31:1–40
Job makes a final appeal about his conduct through repeated conditional oaths. He denies specific wrongs, invokes severe consequences if guilty and calls on the Almighty to answer. These are his self-imprecations, including a harmful consequence involving his wife, rather than a narrator approval of every proposed penalty.

Job 37:1–24
In Job 37:1-24, Elihu uses thunder, rain, snow, clouds and sky to speak about God’s majesty. He moves from describing weather to questioning Job, urging him to pause and think about works too great for people to master.
Job 38:1–41
In Job 38:1–41, Yahweh answers Job from the whirlwind with searching questions. Instead of giving Job an explanation here, Yahweh points to parts of creation that Job cannot make, command or fully know.
Job 39:1–30
In Job 39, the LORD speaks by asking Job about animals people cannot fully watch, direct or understand. The chapter points to the limits of human control within God’s creation.
Job 40:1–5; Job 40:6–24
Yahweh challenges Job to answer, and Job says he is of small account and lays a hand over his mouth. Yahweh then questions whether Job can overturn divine judgment or exercise divine power and points to behemoth as a creature made by the same Creator.
Job 41:1–34
Job 41:1–34 uses pointed questions and vivid description to show Leviathan as a creature no person can master. The passage then uses that picture to press a bigger question about who can stand before the speaker.
Job 42:1–6
In this reply to Yahweh, Job speaks with humility. He confesses God’s power, admits his own lack of understanding, and ends with repentance. The passage traces how Job answers the LORD after hearing the LORD’s words.
Proverbs 6:1–19; Proverbs 6:20–35
Proverbs 6:1–19 gives a series of warnings in the form of fatherly instruction. It moves from careless promises, to laziness, to deceitful behaviour, and ends with a list of attitudes and actions that Yahweh hates. This lesson also brings together Warnings against Adultery.
Proverbs 7:1–27
