Through the Bible in one year notes
Jan 10, 2004 Job: 24 - 28

Job 24
v. 1 - 25
Job complains about violence: Why do wicked men do evil things but do not get punished? While innocent people go around in awful conditions? Evil men who do things in secret do not get punished swiftly by you God! Why is that? But even though they are made might they like the rest of us will die. Can any of you prove my words wrong?

Job 25
v. 1- 6
Bildad, short and to point:How can man be righteous before God?

Job 26
v. 1 - 14
Job, Man is frail/God is master: Have you helped people that have no hope. There is a trembling and He is spreading his hand all over the place. We can barely understand the grandur and majesty of God.

Job 27
v. 1 - 23
Job, I am innocent: Though God has taken all from me I will not speak wickedly about Him. But I also will not say that you men are right either. The evil person who gathers all the nice things never gets to enjoy them, but his offspring do as the split it among themselves. And in the end, he will lie to his rest like we will.

Job 28
v. 1 - 28
Job on wisdom: What is deep and hidden is brought to light, like precious metals, so that they can be gathered. But where can wisdom be found? We cannot mine it like metal or precious stones. It is hidden from all living men. God knows what it is. and to man it is the fear of the Lord as is parting from evil understanding.
