Our reading challenge for the day is Job 16-20. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?
Job 16 - Job now responds. he himself would comfort his friends but he receives no comfort. His conclusion is that God is against him.
Job 17 - If God has turned against Job he has no hope. He is cursed by all people as well.
Job 18 - Bildad replies, saying Job is speaking to his friends as if they are foolish. Evil people like Job come to evil ends.
Job 19 - Job says his friends are doing nothing but tormenting him. Yet his greatest terror is that he feels forsaken by God. Yet he trusts that God has not entirely forsaken him. One day Job will see his redeemer.
Job 20 - Zophar answers to tell Job that the joys of the wicked are very brief.
