March 3, 2016: Daily Bible Reading Commentary for Job 19-20
Click here for the reading
Commentary: Job is full of complaints in chapter 19. About what and who is he complaining? Zophar responds to Job for the second and final time. He sees Job as arrogant and is convinced that Job is guilty of sinning. He believed that without repenting, Job could not be redeemed. If Zophar truly believed that Job’s fate was sealed, it could explain his refusal to make a third speech.
Focus Verses: 20:1-3 These verses are Zophar’s response to Job’s complaints, including complaints against his friends. Zophar believes he is wise, wiser than Job. Has there ever been a time when you thought you understood a situation, only to find out later that your assumptions were wrong? What caused your erroneous judgement? How can you keep from making the same mistake as Zophar?
