15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?
15 Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
15 Didn't the same God who made me, make them? Aren't we all made of the same stuff, equals before God?
15 Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?
15 For God created both me and my servants. He created us both in the womb.
(Read Job 31:9-15)
All the defilements of the life come from a deceived heart. Lust is a fire in the soul: those that indulge it, are said to burn. It consumes all that is good there, and lays the conscience waste. It kindles the fire of God's wrath, which, if not quenched by the blood of Christ, will consume even to eternal destruction. It consumes the body; it consumes the substance. Burning lusts bring burning judgments. Job had a numerous household, and he managed it well. He considered that he had a Master in heaven; and as we are undone if God should be severe with us, we ought to be mild and gentle towards all with whom we have to do.

(Read Proverbs 22:2)
Divine Providence has so ordered it, that some are rich, and others poor, but all are guilty before God; and at the throne of God's grace the poor are as welcome as the rich.
