Scripture: Job Chapters 16-17
Sermon Series: The Book of Job: Relating to God While Suffering in Life
Series Launch Date: 06/14/20
Job judged his friends as “sorry counselors” who provided him nothing but windy words. Nevertheless, Job believed in the same system as his friends, and could have said the same things if he and his friends could have switched places, but he would not do it. He laid the responsibility on God, who blinded the “friends,” who acted as beasts and enemies of Job. He maintained his piety and conscience, crying out for a mediator to represent him before God. He asked God for a pledge to do justice on those who had done evil, as he felt that he, himself, was at the gate of Sheol.
