Job 18:
Bildad
asked why Job is angry at their words and why he is disregarding them. He
insist that the wicked must be punished for all his wrongdoing. He also
points out the sores on Job's flesh, how he lost his animals and properties, as
well as the death of his children. He summaries that Job's life is like that
of the godless. Many will always believe that your agony and neglect is
because of your wrongdoing. |

Job 19:
Job
asked why they tormented him with words and if it is true that he did evil, God has
obviously locked him in without hope. Job says he calls to his servants
but no reply. His wife, brothers, and friends have left him, and even children
despise him. He wonders why his friends have joined God against him, and
reject his flesh. He can't wait to die and face God with his flesh, the
flesh that God afflicted. He guesses then God will judge his sins with a
sword. Some will say God is all good and no evil is found in him, but
where is God when an innocent man goes through so much agony and pain? I guess
this is why followers of God are sometimes called fools. How much can a
blameless man take? Does the godless suffer this much?
Job 20:
Zophar says that the wicked
may have status to reach heaven, but his joy is cut short, and he perishes like
his dung. The wicked are like fly away dreams, his children beg the poor,
and he gives up his wealth. The evil he hides within him also destroys
him. God does not waste time to punish the wicked. He is implying
that Job must have sinned and he deserve his punishment. Why would you
blame him, when known evil people have not even gone through this. |
