Bible Reading

Day	Reading	Info
Monday	Job 22-25	Eliphaz again suggests that Job has sinned and needs to confess it. Job desires to have an audience with God, as he is guiltless. He agrees that wickedness is sometimes unpunished, but it will be punished by God. Bildad states the uncleanness of man.
Tuesday	Job 26-29	Job rebukes and mocks Bildad, recounting God’s power. He gives the heritage of the wicked compared to the treasures of God’s wisdom. Job longs for the past.
Wednesday	Job 30-31	Job relates his present calamity. He again shares his innocence.
Thursday	Job 32-33	Elihu shares his wisdom, explaining that they should listen to him, they shouldn’t accuse God, and that God does chasten.
Friday	Job 34-36	Elihu shares how God cannot be unjust, He punishes the wicked, and man should be humble. God cannot be compared to anything. He is omnipotent, just, and worthy of praise.
Saturday	Job 37-38	Man should fear God and remember that His wisdom surpasses anyone else’s. God questions Job about the various things that He made.

Interesting notes:

·         Job 28:16 – the gold of Ophir was the finest gold available. Even that cannot buy wisdom.

·         Job 29:6 – bathing with cream (or butter) was a symbol of riches and luxury.

·         Job 32 – Where did Elihu come from? He wasn’t with the other 3 at the beginning of the speeches?

·         In Job 38 and following, God answers Job – as in addresses him. God does not answer any of Job’s questions, though.
