II. Job’s Dialogue With His Friends
(3:1-27:33)
3:1 After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day he was born.
33:1 “But now, O Job, listen to my words,
and hear everything I have to say!
33:31 Pay attention, Job – listen to me;
be silent, and I will speak.
34:5 For Job says, ‘I am innocent,
but God turns away my right.
34:35 that Job speaks without knowledge
and his words are without understanding.
35:16 So Job opens his mouth to no purpose;
without knowledge he multiplies words.”
37:14 “Pay attention to this, Job!
Stand still and consider the wonders God works.
V. The Speeches of Elihu (32:1-37:24)
Elihu’s First Speech32:1 So these three men refused to answer Job further, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
32:14 Job has not directed his words to me,
and so I will not reply to him with your arguments.
34:36 But Job will be tested to the end,
because his answers are like those of wicked men.
42:16 After this Job lived 140 years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
1:13 Now the day came when Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
1:20 Then Job got up and tore his robe. He shaved his head, and then he threw himself down with his face to the ground.
31:31 if the members of my household have never said,
‘If only there were someone
who has not been satisfied from Job’s meat!’ –
31:40 then let thorns sprout up in place of wheat,
and in place of barley, weeds!”
The words of Job are ended.
32:12 Now I was paying you close attention,
yet there was no one proving Job wrong,
not one of you was answering his statements!
