Holy Ones

Job 15:12-20 – Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash, so that you vent your rage against God and pour out such words from your mouth? “What are mortals, that they could be pure, or those born of woman, that they could be righteous? If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes, how much less mortals, who are vile and corrupt, who drink up evil like water! “Listen to me and I will explain to you; let me tell you what I have seen, what the wise have declared, hiding nothing received from their ancestors (to whom alone the land was given when no foreigners moved among them): All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him.

Job 5:1 – “Call if you will, but who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?

Psalm 14:1 – The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.

Obadiah 15 – “The day of the Lord is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head.

Application:

• ·         “Holy ones” were holy angels, the “sons of God”.
• ·         “No one who does good”) is the “fool” who takes no account of God and does not hesitate to show his malice toward “the company of the righteous”.
• ·         The day of the Lord brings judgment for the nations and salvation for the house of Jacob.
