Bildad speaks for only 6 verses!
Job 26
Job rises up and questions his friends.
Job 27
:6 - My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live. ~So many of Job's expressions of words are very potent considering the condition of his life and physical body. What a role model he is for glorifying God in the middle of no-matter-what!!!
Job 28
:3 - He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, [=spiritual unreceptivity, calamity (fig.)] and the shadow of death. ~If we are the lively stones building up the house of God, then what are these stones of darkness?
:11 - He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and [the thing that is] hid bringeth he forth to light.
Job speaks of the preciousness of wisdom.
:28 - And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that [is] wisdom; and to depart from evil [is] understanding.
Job 29
Job remembers the good ol' days...As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God [was] upon my tabernacle (:4)
:6 - When I washed my steps with butter ~This is either very spiritual, or one of those expressions lost in translation...
Job 30
:17 - sinews = to gnaw, chew ~ perhaps like the gnashing of teeth Jesus often spoke of http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H6207&t=KJV
:23 - the house appointed for all living. ~ The Father's House? Back then it was Father Abraham's bosom everyone looked forward to going after death...
Job 31
:22 - Instead of May lightning strike me [if I'm lying], Job says, Let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and be broken from the bone
Job 32
Elihu - not one of the three friends - speaks up.
[I said], I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. (:17 - :20)
~I really appreciate this young guy stepping up and finally delivering the message that God was the one putting all this on Job. :13 - God thrusteth him down, not man.
Job 33
:15 - :16 -
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, ~God teaches us when we sleep. That gives a whole new perspective on dreams.
:23-25 - If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
~God's fountain of youth-being a messenger to show man his uprightness:30 - To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
Job 34
:31-32 - Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne [chastisement], I will not offend [any more]: [That which] I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
~Chastisement brings deliverance from offense. Ask to be taught what we can't see.
Job 35
Not sure whose side Elihu is on.
Job 36
:2 - Elihu thinks he speaks on God's behalf
Job 37
:13 - Rain is for 3 things: correction, for land, or for mercy
Job 38
GOD FINALLY SPEAKS...AND ANSWERS JOB!!!! But not with any sympathy...(:3)
:7 - all the sons of God shouted for joy ~We're still shouting!
:32 - God acknowledges the zodiac Mazzaroth http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H4216&t=KJV
Every time I think of the book and story of Job, I am amazed at the same 3 things: 1) Job had terrible friends 2)God waited 37 chapters to speak to Job 3)When God finally speaks, he acts as though he is disciplining Job, when He is the one that started all the torment in the first place as he was bragging on Job to Satan [ok, 5 things - 4)that God started it & 5)Satan gathered with the sons of God]
Job 39
God has a lot to say, finally, and uses many examples from nature.
Job 40
:15 - behemoth = a dinosaur? http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H930&t=KJV
Most of this chapter God speaks of this creature and the ox.
Job 41
Leviathan=dragon? http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H3882&t=KJV
God seems to be speaking of the largest creatures of nature to make a point that Job, nor any human, can control them as He can. God is God, and that is it. Maybe this is to take Job's mind off his own problems? Think big? Think God?
Job 42
God demands from Job previously, so now Job demands answers from God.
Then God rebukes the three "friends," but not Elihu.
:10 - And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Talk about praying for your enemies! And winning the lotto with God! Wow, that is a great reward. Double his millionaire status. And then (:14) names the 3 daughters, but not the sons.
