'May' in the Bible

And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Are not my days few? cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak; And let come on me what will.

Look away from him, that he may rest, Till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.

Be ye afraid of the sword: For wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, That ye may know there is a judgment.

Ye say , God layeth up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:

He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, And the innocent shall divide the silver.

(Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know mine integrity);

Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:

I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.

That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man;

To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; And thy righteousness may profit a son of man.

He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know it .

And it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world,

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover thee?

Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, And say unto thee, Here we are?

And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, Or that the wild beast may trample them.
