Hey, this is the Year in the Bible with Daily Grace. We are in Job chapters 7 through 9.

We hope that you're enjoying joining us on the journey through this book. Leave us a comment or review.

Let us know what you're learning. Let us know how this book is impacting you.

Scott, yesterday we saw the first address of one of Job's friends. We talked about maybe how it was

an unhelpful address. And today we're going to kind of continue through this cycle of speeches.

So what do we see in chapters 7 through 9? So the section Job is still responding to Elifaz in today's first chapter, chapter seven.

In chapter six, he complained about his friends being unhelpful and cruel.

Here in chapter seven, he's talking about God, why God would, he's questioning why God

just seems so intent to target him.

And then the second friend, Bill Dad, speaks up.

And basically makes the same point that the first friend, Elifaz, did, that, you know,

innocent people don't suffer.

And so since God is just, what Job has experienced must be punishment.

He asked, does God pervert justice in chapter 8?

And then Shelby, he says, what I think is maybe the most shocking statement in the entire

book.

And he says, since your children sinned against him, he gave them over to their rebellion.

Translation, Job's children got what they deserved when they died.

Ouch, but he's like, hey, there's hope, though, for you, Job.

I just repent, and God will restore all your prosperity.

And again, like the first friend, that's what Satan has suggested.

Serve God and be rewarded with stuff.
