Job 14:11 As water vanishes from a lake,    And a river is parched and dried up,   I have a new idea to create a new ‘public’ post for these, but it will require a more impactful verse than this one. Over the last few weeks, I have been considering my baseball card collection… Continue reading Study of Job 14:11 – Simple: Lake and River

Job 36 Elihu proceeded on saying: Bear with me a little, and I will show you,    There are yet more words to speak of God. I will make known my knowledge of God from every quarter,    As I ascribe righteousness to my Creator. For truly my words will not be false,    A… Continue reading Job 36 The Amalgamation

Job 14:10 But humans die, wasted away,    Breath their last, and are no more.   This has been a very odd week. I have alternated between anger and happiness, unproductivity and accomplishment, and what seems like a host of other extremes. I feel like today is a day I can do more things I… Continue reading Study of Job 14:10 – A State or a Question

Job 35 Elihu continued and said, Do you consider it just,    To say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’? Or you ask what benefit is it for you,    ‘What does it profit me to not sin?’ I shall give you the answer,    And your companions along side you. Look unto the heavens,… Continue reading Job 35 – The Amalgamation

Job 14:9 Yet at the scent of water it will blossom,    Putting forth boughs like a sapling.   I worked on Job 36:19 just now. All my sources said the passage containing this verse is impossible to understand (exaggerating a little). The goal with my Amalgamation is to get each verse into something that… Continue reading Study of Job 14:9 – Readiness

Job 34 Elihu continued in his argument saying; Hear my words, you sages,    You who have knowledge, give ear to me. For the ear tests words,    As the palate tastes food. Let us discern ourselves what I right,    Let us discover ourselves what is good. For Job has stated, ‘I am in… Continue reading Job 34 – The Amalgamation

Job 14:8 Though its roots grow older in the earth,    Its stump dies in the soil.   I read this and I was stumped. I was so positive about what the previous verse said, rereading this one gave me pause. Then I figured I had missed on a word. Good thing I am not… Continue reading Study of Job 14:8 – Old

Job 33 But now Job, hear my words,    Pat attention to everything I say. Behold, I open my mouth,    My tongue forms words in my mouth. My heart proclaims words of wisdom,    My lips declare the truth. The spirit of EL (God) has made me,    The breath of Shaddai (the Almighty)… Continue reading Job 33 – The Amalgamation

Job 14:7 For there is hope for a tree,    If it is cut down,       That it will sprout again,          And its shoots will not cease?   I have a tree that I cut down ages ago.  I did not dig up the roots or poison it because it was right next to… Continue reading Study of Job 14:7 – Suffering Hope

Job 32 Thereafter these three men ceased responding to Job,    Because he remained righteous in his own eyes. However, Elihu, the son of Barakhel the Buzite, of the clan of Ram, flared in anger,    Angry at job for claiming to be in the right more than God. Also angry at his three friends,… Continue reading Job 32 – The Amalgamation
