Job 22:7 No water have you given to the thirsty,    From the hungry you have withheld bread.   It feels like summer here now. I am trying to enjoy it, but it feels like a lot of effort is needed to do so. My replacement hammock stand came in yesterday, so that was good… Continue reading Study of Job 22:7 – #526 Water, Bread and Question

Job 22:6 For you have extracted pledges from your kinsmen without reason,    Stripped the naked of their clothing.   This verse starts a string of things the Eliphaz is accusing Job of doing. My guess is he is just guessing because this is what he has done. We know Job did not do these… Continue reading Study of Job 22:6 – #525 Stripped the Naked

Job 22:5 In fact, your wickedness is great,    There is no end to your iniquities.   Wow. Talk about a slap in the face. Your companion says this to you in front of everyone while you are suffering unimaginably. One of the many reasons I did not want to call these three friends. It… Continue reading Study of Job 22:5 – #524 Endless

Job 22:4 Is it because of your piety that He reproves you?    Comes to judgement against you?   I find this verse funny. The answer is yes, but Job along with everyone else does not know that God is allowing this to happen because Job loves God so much. I can picture the actor… Continue reading Study Of Job 22:4 – #523 Desks

Job 22:3 Is it gain for the Almighty if you are righteous?    Does He profit if you make your ways blameless?   My routine has not been in place. I spent a week on vacation, a week by myself, and most of a week dealing with the rest of the household back from vacation.… Continue reading Study of Job 22:3 – #522 Aiming

Job 22:1-2 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said: Is a man of benefit to God?    Even when the wisest is serving Him?   Good question. I remember watching Family Feud as a kid and ‘Good answer.’ in the proper tone was a great compliment. So that is the tone in which I use… Continue reading Study of Job 22:1-2 – #521 Benefit Gravy

Job 21:34 How then can you comfort me with mere breath,    When your answers are nothing,       But a betrayal of the truth?   Mic drop. Job is pissed and lets it out. Or at least that is one way to see this one verse.  The next verse/chapter is the three companions starting again.… Continue reading Study of Job 21:34 – #520 Nothing

Job 21:33 The clods of the wadi are sweet to him,    All follow his bier,       As an innumerable host march before it.   Word does not know the word bier. Maybe because it is a Christian word and Microsoft avoids them. Kind of like it won’t auto correct to God if you happen… Continue reading Study of Job 21:33 – #519 Bier and such

Job 21:32 He is borne off to his mausoleum,    His image keeps watch over this tomb.   A meme I read, or post or whatever you call stuff on social media these days, gave me the idea that my ADHD or ADD or whatever might not be the same as what kids get but… Continue reading Study of Job 21:32 – #518 Party

 Job 21:31 But who denounces his conduct to his face?    Who requites him for what he has done?   When I finally remembered to check my blood pressure yesterday it was down to where a normal person’s should be. It was a little late, but still in a good range. My life has totally… Continue reading Study of Job 21:31 – #517 Unnamed
