Through the Bible in one year notes
Jan 7, 2004 Job 14 - 16

Job 14
v. 1 - 22
Job continues: Man is a fleeting thing, and you are eternal, how can you judge me. Trees and plants will regrow when cut down, but man dies and is in the ground, so why do You cut me down? As a mountain is worn down to dirt, so you are wearing me down God. Oh for relief before I die.

Job 15
v. 1- 35
Eliphaz Round 2: Would a wise man speak emptiness. You are crafty with your tongue you are Job. Do you speak directly to God? What wisdom do you have we do not? Man is born of a woman, he is sinful (my notes to my paraphrase: well we got one thing right here). Wicked men fail, plain and simple.

Job 16
v. 1 - 22
Job Again: Listening to you is like listening to hot air. Who are you answering, not my words. We could trade place and maybe I could speak like you do. Instead, I would give strength to you and not tare you down. You are helping God in his attack against me. God has shaken me like a rag doll and set me down as a target for archers who have pierced my heart. Oh God, if I could plea my case before you.
