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

Job 17

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

What does Job 17 say? About the friends- 17:2, 4, 5, 10, 12 God Himself- 17:3, 6 About Job and his hopeless situation- 17:1, 7, 11, 13-16 Jesus and Job 17 17:2 Jesus was surrounded by mockers- Servants of God often found themselves as surrounded by hostile mockers (Ps. 119:51; Jer.20:7) and Jesus is the ultimate illustration of this (Ps. 22:7, 12; Matt. 27:29, 41). He was surrounded by them even in his death 17:6 Job is a byword as the innocent sufferer of Psalm 69:11-12. Psalm 69 is often quoted in the NT and applied to Jesus. (Ps. 69:4/ Jn. 15:25; Ps. 69:9a/ Jn. 2:17; Ps. 69:9b/Rom. 15:3; 69

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

16:18 O earth, do not cover my blood- The earth is sometimes called to witness men’s sins (Deut. 30:15-20; Isa. 1:2; Micah 6:1-2) but here Job calls upon it to testify of His innocence. Job’s longs for the earth not to cover his blood. The phrase cover his blood also appears in Gen. 37:26; Isa. 26:21. In Gen. 4:10 the voice of Abel’s blood cried out from the ground. Blood represented life itself (Lev. 17:11), and it is precious. Even an animal’s blood was to be covered with the ground (Lev. 17:13; Ezek. 24:7-8). Because life and blood were so precious, taking life demanded one’s life be taken

Job 16:1-14

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

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

We seek to establish in the podcast on vs. 20-35 that many of the things said about the wicked by Eliphaz are pictured as judgments upon the wicked throughout the Bible. If that is so, what is wrong with Eliphaz speech? He is not wrong about the punishment of the wicked, but he wrong in classing Job among the guilty. Second, Eliphaz is not wrong about the judgment of the wicked, but do all these judgments work out in this life? Luke 16:19-31 gives us additional light from the New Testament. Lazarus laid at the rich man's gate, begging for things to eat, and having his sores licked by dogs fits

Job 15:1-16

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

15:2 Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge- The words that Job uses are not typical of a wise man. Eliphaz will hit Job with a barrage of questions. And fill himself with the east wind? The east wind comes off the desert and produces great discomfort (Jonah 4:8), destruction of crops (Gen. 41:6, 23, 27; Ezek. 17:10; 19:12), the tearing apart of ships (Ps. 48:7; Ezek. 27:26), brings locusts (Ex. 10:13), and is a picture of judgment (Job 27:21; Jer. 18:17; Hos. 13:15). Bildad in 8:2 and Zophar in 11:2 speak in a similar way to what Eliphaz says here. Job did describe his words this way i

14:13 Is Sheol far enough away from God to be used as a hiding place ( Ps. 139:8; Amos 9:2)? The question must be asked, Is there any time or space to hide from the wrath of the eternal, omnipresent God? Jesus is the safe hiding spot from the wrath of God (Ro. 3:21-26; I Thess. 1:10). 14:13 The thief on the cross begged Jesus to remember him in Luke 23:42-43. 14:14 If he had hope of resurrection, in spite of his hardships, an assurance of life after death would fill him with hope. Hope of a resurrection can sustain us through the trials of life. 14:14 We shall all be changed - I Cor. 15:51. Be

Job 14:1-12

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

Job 14:1-12 Job has been confident that he would win in a court case before God but now his mood changes and he is overwhelmed by the brevity of life. Job moves from a description of his personal situation to the people in general. 14:1 Man, who is born of woman- The word man, adam, begins the verse and therefore is stressed. The phrase born of woman is only in Job in the OT. The expression includes everyone emphasizes the cycle of birth and the fragility of life and is used in Job 15:14; 25:4. It is used in the NT of John the Baptist in Matt. 11:11; Luke 7:28. Sirach 10:18 is short lived and
