- 1:1-2:6. What is said her about Job’s:
(a) character,
(b) position in life, and
(c) sufferings? - 2:7-3:26. In 2:10 Job expresses his faith in God.
In 3:11 he wants to die; and in 3:23 he blames God for his troubles.
How are we to account for this change?
Notes.
- 2:13. The seven-day silence of Job’s friends is a rite of mourning for a man they consider as good as dead, struck down because of his sins.
- Compare 3:1-26 with Jer. 20:14-18.
