"Then Job answered the Lord and said: 'I know that You can do everything,
And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.
You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
Listen, please, and let me speak;
You said,  ‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’
I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You.
Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” Job 42:1-6

God calls us to share in His holiness

"And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." Exodus 19:6

“For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but because the Lord loves you....

Rebellion against His holiness

 

"In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;

And He fought against them." Isaiah 63:9-10

Surely it is coming, and it shall be done." Ezekiel 39:4

 

Human pride mocks His holiness

‘Whom have you reproached and blasphemed?
Against whom have you raised your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high?
Against the Holy One of Israel.
By your messengers you have reproached the Lord,
And said: 'By the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains....
Did you not hear long ago how I made it, from ancient times that I formed it?...
But I know your dwelling place... and your rage against Me." 2 Kings 19:22-27

 

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses,
Who trust in chariots because they are many,
And in horsemen because they are very strong,
But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the Lord!
Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster, and will not call back His words,
But will arise against the house of evildoers." Isaiah 31:1-2

 

For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:
'In returning and rest you shall be saved;
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.'
But you would not,
And you said, 'No, for we will flee on horses'— Therefore you shall flee!
And, 'We will ride on swift horses'—

Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!'" Isaiah 30:15-16

His holy judgment

 

"O Lord, You have appointed them for judgment;
O Rock, You have marked them for correction.
You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on wickedness." Habakkuk 1:12
 

"Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:
'Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perversity...
Therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall,
A bulge in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.
And He shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel...
He shall not spare." Isaiah 30:12-14

 

Restoration

And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.

He will not respect what his fingers have made." Isaiah 17:7-8

 

"I will take away from your midst those who rejoice in your pride,
And you shall no longer be haughty in My holy mountain.

"And they shall call them The Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord;" Isaiah 62:12

Our prayers to Him

"Oh, send out Your light and Your truth!
Let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill." Psalm 43:3

 

O God, You are my God; early will I seek You;
My soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.
So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
Thus I will bless You while I live..." Psalm 63:1-4
