Job 18:3 Why are we regarded as beasts? Considered stupid in your eyes? At Bible study this morning, we touched on the friction between the political spectrum and the lack of good exemplified by each side. To answer this verse’s questions, I would say because you act like uncivilized beasts and act as… Continue reading Study of Job 18:3 – #413 Acting like dumb beasts
Job 18:1-2 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied saying: How long before you put an end to your speeches? Consider us, and then we may speak. ‘Whiney baby’ is the phrase running through my mind.

Job 17:16 To the chambers of Sheol it descends, Together we shall return to dust. I just learned that Sheol is the correct spelling and Microsoft left it out of the Word dictionary.

Job 17:13 Indeed, I await my home in Sheol, To array my couch in the darkness. I made at least two mistakes this week. One was about the Exodus, and one was about a martyr. One I got mixed up on. The other, I didn’t do enough research. I know I made a… Continue reading Study of Job 17:13 – #408 Forgive me
Job 17:11 My days have surpassed my hopes, Cut off from my heart’s desires. With the latest round of Astros pitcher injuries, I found myself more wanting to not get so upset when things go wrong with them. I canceled the service I use to watch them now that the season is coming… Continue reading Study of Job 17:11 – #407 Progress
Job 17:10 And, yet all of you, reply again, But I shall find no one wise among you. I read an article just now about the ‘problem’ facing our country and our world: not enough babies.

Job 17:9 Nevertheless, the just will cling to their ways, Those with unsoiled hands will become more determined. At first blush, one may think this is just good people being good people.
