Job 10 – Job’s Plea to God

He loathed his life, and freely complained. He is bitter in his soul, he begs God not to condemn him, and asked to know why God contends against him. Does it seem good to God to oppress the work of His hands? Job said that God knew that he wasn’t guilty, and he didn’t have anyone to deliver him out of God’s hand. God’s hands fashioned and made him, and now He destroyed Job. Job is like clay and asked…

Job 9 – Job Replies to Bildad: “There Is No Judge/Umpire/Arbiter”

Job said: I know it’s so. How can man be right before God? If one wished to contend with him, he couldn’t answer once in a 1,000 times. One hasn’t succeeded who has hardened himself against God. God rules the mountains, the earth, the sun, stars, the heavens, the seas, the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and chambers of the south. God does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number. He passes by Job and he didn’t see…

Job 8 – (1) Bildad’s False Accusation: “Job’s Suffering Is Because of His Godlessness”

Bildad spoke – How long will Job say these things and the words of his mouth act as a great wind. He accuses Job of saying that God distorts justice. He moves forward to say that his kids died because of their sin, and that if Job is pure and righteous then God will restore his station in life, and even have more. He exhorts Job to consider wisdom from the past. He accuses Job of forgetting God, so like…

Job 7 – Job Responds to Eliphaz Part 2: “My Life Has No Hope”

Job continues in this chapter – Man has a hard service on earth and his days are like a slave. He is given months of emptiness, nights of misery. He tosses and turns in his sleep. He is clothed with worms and dirt. His days are swifter than a sewer’s needle, and comes to an end without hope. Life is a breath, he believes he will never see good again. As a cloud fades and vanishes, so he who goes down…

Job 6 – Job Responds to Eliphaz Part 1: “My Complaint Is Just”

If my calamity was laid in the balance, it would be heavier than the sand of the sea. He admits his words have been rash. The arrows of the Almighty are in him. His spirit drinks their poison. The terrors of God are against him. Food is loathsome to him. He begs for his request that God would fulfill his hope that God would loose his hand and crush him and cut him off. This would be a comfort to…

Job 5 – (1) Eliphaz’ Thoughts Part 2: “The Innocent Prosper”

Is there anyone who will answer Job. Vexation kills the fool, jealousy slays the simple. The fool takes root, his children are far from safety, they are crushed in the gate, and no one to deliver them. The hungry eat his harvest, and the thirsty pant after wealth. Afflication doesn’t come from the dust, nor trouble from the ground. Man is born for trouble as the sparks fly upward. Eliphaz would seek and commit his cause to God who is…

Job 4 – (1) Eliphaz’ Thoughts Part 1: “The Innocent Prosper”

Eliphaz answered – If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? Who can keep from speaking? Job had instructed many, and strengthened the weak. His words upheld the stumbling and strengthened weak knees. But he says now it (stumbling and weakness) comes to Job and he is impatient, it touches him and he’s dismayed. He implies that Job isn’t putting his confidence in the fear of God. He tells Job that the innocent never perished, the upright…

Job 3 – Job Laments His Birth

He cursed the day of his birth. Let that day perish, be darkness, gloom and darkness claim it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the hear, let that night be barren, let no joyful cry enter it. Curse the day. Let it hope for light and have none, nor see the eyelids of the morning. All because it did not shut the doors of his mother’s womb, nor hide trouble from Job’s eyes. Why did I not die at…

Job 2 – Satan Attacks Job’s Health, Job’s Wife, Job’s 3 Friends

Again the sons of God came to God and Satan came too. Satan again came from going to and fro on the earth. God asked Satan again if he considered Job, and how Job is still righteous and holds fast his integrity even though Satan sought to incite God against him to destroy him for no reason. Satan said, “Skin for skin!” He argued that if Job’s flesh is impacted that he will curse God to His face. God gave…

Job 1 – Job’s Character & Wealth, Satan Allowed to Test Job, Satan Take’s Job’s Property & Kids

Job was blameless and upright, feared God, turned away from evil. He had 7 sons and 3 daughters, 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 oxen, 500 female donkeys, man-servants. He was the greatest man of all the east. Job rose early in the morning offering burnt offerings for his kids and asked God to forgive them for their sin. He did this continually. When the sons of God came to present themselves Satan came from walking all over the earth. The…
