Day #7-Job 14-16

Whew, Job is a struggle for me. It is written much differently than the other books of the Bible.

Ch. 14
vv. 1-2-Life is short.
vv. 3-6-We cannot win against God. God will always have the upper hand...because He is GOD.
vv. 7-22-Man is mortal.

Ch. 15
vv. 1-3-Eliphaz accuses Job of "useless talk."
v. 4-Eliphaz accuses Job of being irreverant.
vv. 5-6-Eliphaz accuses Job of being "guilt[y]."
vv. 17-35-Eliphaz talks about life. He says basically that without God, it doesn't matter how much wealth you acquire on Earth. If you are guilty, you will pay.

Ch. 16
v. 2-Job says his friends are "sorry comforters."
v. 4-Job says if he were in their place, he could look down on them, too.
v. 6-Job says it makes no difference whether or not he speaks because it does not lessen his pain.
vv. 7-14-Job says God has attacked and "shattered" him.
vv. 15-22-Job cries to God. He says he is innocent and that his friends scoff at him.
