Job 15:4
But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before Him.
BSB
ASV
Yea, thou doest away with fear, And hinderest devotion before God.
KJV
Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
1834–1892
THIS is one of the charges brought by Eliphaz the Temanite against Job, "Yes, you cast off fear, and restrain prayer before God." I shall not use this sentence as an accusation against those who never pray, though there may be some in this House of Prayer whose heads are unaccustomed to bow down and whose knees are unaccustomed to kneel before the Lord, their Maker. You have been fed by God's bounty, you owe all the breath in your nostrils to Him, yet you have never done homage to His name!
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Romans 3:31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Certainly not! Instead, we uphold the law.

I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.
Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

Zephaniah 1:6and those who turn back from following the LORD, neither seeking the LORD nor inquiring of Him.”

Alas, O sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children of depravity! They have forsaken the LORD; they have despised the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on…
“For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
You have forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am weary of showing compassion.
Have you not brought this on yourself by forsaking the LORD your God when He led you in the way?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
