Job’s story demolishes the notion that we can avoid Satan’s attacks if we’re sufficiently strong, or skilled enough, or trained in how to wage war against Satan. No one was more spiritually fit than Job. Yet God allowed Satan to ravage him anyway – and there was nothing Job could do about it. Job finally prevailed in the face of Satan’s merciless assault, not because he found some secret way to beat the devil, not because he rebuked him or ordered him to desist, but because God was in control all along. He knew how much Job could bear. And He would not permit Satan to cross that boundary (1 Cor. 10:13). When Satan reached that limit God stopped him and his attacks ended.

28:1 ¶ Aue te he mo te karauna whakapehapeha o te hunga haurangi o Eparaima, ki te puawai memenge hoki o tona ataahua whakakororia, tera i te wahi ki runga o te awaawa momona o te hunga kua hinga i te waina!

28:2 Nana, he mea kaha, he mea pakari ta te Ariki; koia ano kei te awha whatu, kei te tupuhi e wawahi ana, kei te waipuke, he wai nui e ngawha atu ana, ka taia iho ano e tona ringa ki te whenua.

28:3 Ka takahia e nga waewae te karauna whakapehapeha o te hunga haurangi o Eparaima.

28:4 A, ko te puawai memenge o tona ataahua whakakororia, kei te wahi nei ki runga o te awaawa momona, ka rite ki te hua matamua o te piki i te mea kahore ano te raumati; a, ka kite te mea i titiro atu, ka horomia e ia i te mea kei tona ringa ano.

28:5 I taua ra ko Ihowa o nga mano hei karauna kororia, hei potae ataahua ki nga morehu o tana iwi:

28:6 Hei wairua whakawa ki te tangata e noho ana ki te whakawa, hei kaha mo te hunga e whakahoki ana i te whawhai i te kuwaha.

28:7 Otiia kua pohehe ano enei i te waina, a kua kototi ke i te wai kaha; ko te tohunga, ko te poropiti, kua pohehe i te wai kaha, kua horomia raua e te waina, a kua kotiti ke i te wai kaha; he titiro he ta raua, e tapepa ana ta raua whakawa.

28:8 Ki tonu hoki nga tepu katoa i te ruaki, i te paru, kahore he wahi ma.

28:9 ¶ Ko wai e whakaakona e ia ki te matauranga? ko wai e meinga e ia kia mohio ki te kupu? ko te hunga kua whakamutua ta ratou kai waiu, kua tangohia mai i te u?

28:10 He whakahau nei hoki tenei i runga i te whakahau, he whakahau i runga i te whakahau; he ako i runga i te ako, he ako i runga i te ako; he iti ki konei, he iti ki ko ra.

28:11 Engari ma etahi tangata rere ke nga ngutu, he reo ke te reo e korero ai ia ki tenei iwi:

28:12 I ki atu ia ki a ratou, Ko te okiokinga tenei, hoatu e koutou he okiokinga ki te tangata mauiui; ko te tanga manawa hoki tenei: na, kihai ratou i pai ki te whakarongo.

28:13 No reira, ko ta Ihowa kupu ki a ratou he whakahau i runga i te whakahau, he whakahau i runga i te whakahau; he ako i runga i te ako, he ako i runga i te ako; he wahi iti ki konei, he wahi iti ki ko ra: kia haere ai ratou, ka hinga whakamuri, ka wawahia, ka mahangatia, ka mau.

28:14 ¶ Mo reira whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, e te hunga whakahi, e nga rangatira o tenei iwi i Hiurharama:

28:15 Kua mea na hoki koutou, Kua whakarite kawenata matou ki te mate; kua rite a matou whakarite ko te reinga; ki te paaha i waenga te whiu i rite nei ki te waipuke, e kore e tae mai ki a matou; no te mea kua oti te teka te mea e matou hei whakawhiri nakitanga, ka piri matou ki roto ki te horihori.

28:16 Na ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Nana, tenei ahau te whakatakoto nei i te kohatu ki Hiona hei turanga, he kohatu kua oti te whakamatautau, mo te kokonga, he mea utu nui, he turanga u: ko te tangata e whakapono ana e kore e potatutatu.

28:17 Ka whakatakotoria ano e ahau te tikanga o te whakawa, mea rawa ki te aho, me te tika ano, paramu rawa: a ka tahia atu te whakawhirinakitanga teka e te whatu, ka huri ano nga wai ki runga ki te piringa.

28:18 Ka whakataka hoki ta koutou kawenata ki te mate; e kore ano e tu ta koutou i whakarite ai ki te reinga; ko te whiu i rite nei ki te waipuke, ki te tika atu i waenga, ka waiho koutou hei takahanga mana.

28:19 I ona wa e haere atu ai taua whiu, ka riro koutou i a ia: ka haere atu hoki i tenei ata, i tenei ata, i te ao, i te po; a he whakamataku anake te mea kia mohio ki te kupu.

28:20 He poto hoki te moenga, e kore e wharoro te tangata; he whaiti te hipoki, e kore e taea te roropi mai.

28:21 No te mea ka rite ki tera i Maunga Peratimi to Ihowa whakatikanga ake, kei tera i te raorao i Kipeno te rite o tona riri; kia mahi ai ia i tana mahi, i tana mahi rere ke, kia whakatutuki ai i tana hanga, i tana hanga rere ke.

28:22 Na kati ra ta koutou whakahi, kei whakaukia o koutou here: kua rongo nei hoki ahau ki te Ariki, ki a Ihowa o nga mano, ki te whakaotinga, ki te mea i whakaritea mo te whenua katoa.

28:23 ¶ Kia whai taringa mai, whakarongo hoki ki toku reo; mahara mai, whakarongo ki taku korero.

28:24 Ko ta te kaiparau koia i nga ra katoa he parau, hei whakatokanga? he whakatuwhera tonu ranei tana, he wawahi i nga pokurukuru o tona oneone?

28:25 Ka oti i a ia te mata o taua mara te mea kia rite, e kore ianei ia e maka atu i te pi, e whakato i te kumine, e rui i te witi, rarangi rawa, i te parei ki te wahi i whakaritea, me te rai ano ki tona tapa?

28:26 Ko tona Atua hoki hei whakaako i a ia ki te tikanga pai, hei tohutohu ano i a ia.

28:27 E kore hoki nga pi e patua ki te mea koi, e kore ano te wira kata e hurihia ki runga ki te kumine; engari e patua ana nga pi ki te rakau, nga kumine ki te patupatu.

28:28 Ko te witi hei taro e kurua ana; e kore hoki e patua tonutia e ia; na, ahakoa tohaina e te wira o tana kata, e ana hoiho ranei, kahore e tukia e ia kia ririki.

28:29 E puta mai ana hoki tenei i a Ihowa o nga mano, he mea whakamiharo nei ona whakaaro, he nui ano ana tikanga.
