Job 5:1
“Call out if you please, but who will answer? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
BSB
ASV
Call now; is there any that will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?
KJV
Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
Call now - The expressions used here, as Noyes has well observed, seem to be derived from the law, where the word “call” denotes the language of the complainant, and answer that of the defendant. According to this, the meaning of the words “call now” is, in jus voca: that is, call the Deity to account, or bring an action against him: or more properly, enter into an argument or litigation, as before a tribunal; see the notes at Isa 41:1, where similar language occurs.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
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.

Hebrews 12:1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set…

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.
as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.
But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.
So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward.

For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them deep into hell, placing them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;
