His eye had seen and heard all. Again he says he knows and isn’t inferior to them. He still desires to argue his case with God. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar are whitewash with lies, and are worthless physicians. He asks that they keep silent, and to hear his argument and pleading. He asks if they…
Job answered – No doubt you are the people and wisdom will die with you, he has understanding as much as them. Job isn’t inferior, who doesn’t know such things. Job is a just and blameless man and yet a laughingstock to his friends; he called to God and He answered. Robbers’ homes, idolators, and those who…
Zophar answered Job – He implies that Job needs to be answered and judged right. That his babble shouldn’t silence men, and that he should be shamed for mocking. He claims that Job thinks his doctrine is pure and he is clean in the sight of God. Zophar says, Oh, that God would speak and open…
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…
Tomorrow we’ll be considering Daniel’s confession of sin in Daniel 9:1-19. I want to be clear at the outset, confession of sin can’t save us. That said, one aspect of how God saves His people is by pricking their conscience and making them feel the weight of and conviction for their sin. Our work of confession doesn’t save…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
