https://biblehub.com/job/14.htm The title of this chapter, added by publishers of the Bible, is “Job Laments His Death”. And once again, Job speaks so eloquently that is over my head; I’m not eloquent, I’m not smart, I’m just a simple man with simple words. But there are a few verses that I would like to bring Continue reading

There has to be a message within the Book of Job, not just a tale about a controversy between God and Satan. There are 42 chapters, and there is great information at the start and at the end, but in between, it is literature that is over my head. Sorry I’m not smart, but I’m Continue reading

Is it better that your friends wholly and unconditionally support you in your dismay, whatever that may be, or is it better that your friends be truthful, no matter how bad the truth hurts, to honestly assess your problem and offer you help? I would suppose that would depend on the person receiving the help. Continue reading

In Job 9 (I will leave a link), Job answers Bildad, talking about all of the great things God is and does. He talks about how no mortal man can even begin to compare with God because there is no comparison. God is perfect. Then Job talks about the faults of man, and how man Continue reading

I’m here to remind you, I’m not a smart man. There are many things in Job that I can understand and comprehend, but there is much more that I don’t understand. I liken the language to the Parables Jesus speaks, I need understanding, just like the Disciples needed understand of Jesus Parables. And the Disciples Continue reading

In these two books, Job answers Eliphaz as well as praying to God. And wow, you really have to concentrate. You have to read, and re-read, and study each word closely to even come close to understanding. Or perhaps it is just me; maybe it is just difficult for my simple mind to comprehend. It Continue reading

Today, we continue where Eliphaz left off yesterday. And he starts by praising God and acknowledging all of the great things He has done. And he mentions that God does good for those who seek Him. And then, he just starts touching on an accusation, not full out an blatant accusation, that Job has done Continue reading

And now, things get complicated. The language becomes more confusing and difficult to understand. I can come up with some assemblance of understanding for about the first half of the chapter, but the last half is beyond my ability to understand. Again I say, I’m not a smart man. It makes me want to reach Continue reading

Most of the Book of Job is dialogue between he and his friends, and it is set up so that one chapter is Job saying his peace, then the next chapter is a friend who is responding to what he said. This goes back and forth, chapter by chapter, Job debated with his friends. And Continue reading

Now, Job has three friends that enter the picture, and here is where it gets really confusing to me. Ernest Hemingway was right, the Book of Job is a literary masterpiece, a masterpiece that hurts my head. Perhaps this time, when I study it, then put my notes and thoughts in writing, I will do Continue reading
