Job 11- Job 34
Day 155 June 4 - Job 11, 12, and 13
In chapter 11 we read of Zophar and his legalistic accusations against his friend. After looking at the dialogues of the three friends of Job I would think he does not need any enemies. Zophar lived a life by the philosophy of sowing and reaping, action and reaction, good for good, and evil for evil. In the opening verses he simply calls Job a liar and says that he is covering up some sort of sin in his life. He mocked Job for saying that his doctrine and life was pure, because that could not be so by the affliction he was enduring. In verse 6 he goes on to tell Job that God has not even received half of the punishment that he should be receiving. That is a very lofty thing to say to a man that he just buried ten of his children, many of his servants, lost his fortune, and was entrenched in utter despair due to his body being racked with boils and sores.
Point to Ponder
Zophar goes on to tell Job to admit his sinfulness and God would hear him and things could get back to normal. It is shocking to think someone could attack another person that is suffering like Job was suffering. The best thing you can do for a friend, family member, or even a foe, is to pray for them and encourage them. I appalled at the ignorant things people say to someone that has just lost a loved one. Some people just have to speak and in speaking they spew out trite little platitudes that are baseless and foolish.
I - The Legalistic Accuser of Job (Job 11)
II - The Livid Anger of Job (Job 12)
III - The Lasting Anguish of Job (Job 13)
Point to Ponder
In chapter 12 Job refuses to hold back and comes at Zophar with very pointed and precise words. He tells his friend that it is obvious that they have all of the answers and that upon their deaths the world would be bankrupt of any sort of wisdom, due to they were ...
