Bible Reading

Day	Reading	Info
Monday	Job 5-7	Eliphaz tells Job that the punishment is from God. Job tells Eliphaz that his case is just, and he wants friendship, and even desires to die.
Tuesday	Job 8-10	Bildad gives examples of God’s justice with others and Job. Job tells him that God is just, but he is innocent. He wants to deliberate with God
Wednesday	Job 11-13	Zaphar tells Job to repent to God. Job rebukes him and the other friends. Job asks God to show him his wrongdoing.
Thursday	Job 14-16	Job speaks of the brevity of life and results of sin. Eliphaz rebukes Job. Job rebukes his “help”
Friday	Job 17-19	Job’s hope is in his death. Bildad shares about the calamites of the wicked. Job complains about how he’s treated and calls for pity.
Saturday	Job 20-21	Zophar is angry with Job. Job’s complaint is against God, and he rejects his friends’ responses.

Interesting notes:

·         The phrase “let me alone till I swallow my saliva” (Job 7:19) was a common phrase meaning to be left alone for a while.

·         In Job 9:9, “Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades” were names of constellations.

·         Regarding Job 10:21-22, pone Jewish view of death is that it is a joyless dark place.

Lighten Up:

“Why do you always bow your head when you go to the pulpit?”
asked the preacher’s little daughter.

“I pray and ask God to give me a good sermon,”
was dad’s reply.

“But daddy, why doesn’t God ever do it?”
