Scripture

Job Job 16

Summary

16:7-14 God is ferociously and relentlessly attacking Job. God is the subject of almost all the verbs in this unit. The name El, God, is used in vs. 11. Most of the verbs are 3rd masculine singular with the subject being He (vs.7a, 8b, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14). Verse 10 is the exception to this because it used 3rd person plural verbs translated they. Eliphaz stated that Job is attacking God in 15:25-26, but Job insists that it is God who is attacking him in these verses. 16:7 You have laid waste all my company- The word company is the same word used in 15:34. Eliphaz pictured the company of the godl

Job 19:1-12

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

19:7 To cry, tsaaq, violence is implicitly a cry to God for help from violence. The weak party cries to God for relief from suffering (Ex. 8:12; 14:10; 22:23, 27; Deut. 22:24, 27). But I get no answer- Often God’s servants uttered similar cries, and God heard them (Ps. 34:17). But in Job 35:12 Elihu is going to use both the verb cry and answer to say that sometimes God does not answer because of the pride of evil men. It is sometimes true that God does not answer one’s cries because of our attitude or behavior. For example, the one who refuses to hear the cry of the poor will also call himself

Job 18 Part 2

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

What is the truth and error of Bildad’s words? Bildad says several things about the fate of the wicked that are elsewhere said in the Old Testament about the end of the wicked. 18:5 The light of the wicked goes out. This is stated in Proverbs 13:9; 20:20; 24:20. 18:7 The schemes of the wicked bring him down. This is stated frequently in Scripture in Psalm 7:15-16 and Prov. 26:27. 18:11, 14 Terrors frighten the wicked man. Ps. 73:19 tells us that the wicked are swept away by sudden terrors. 18:13 pictures the skin of the wicked devoured by disease. In Zech. 14:12 the LORD will strike those who

What does Job 17 say?
