Scripture Union Daily Guide 22nd August 2025 Outline
Go back to read Job 2:11-13. That was where and when Job’s friends entered the scene. Notice what they did at the end of the chapter. That is the best thing to do when we do not know what to say. Our problem, very often, is that we do not know what to say, but we go ahead and say something all the same! The friends of Job were very supportive by keeping their mouth shut for seven days. Then they spoiled it all when they began to give their “wise” advice.
Eliphaz was the first one to speak. “Physician heal thyself” would be a good summary of Job 4:3-6. Job 4:7 highlights the principle on which all their speeches hang. God rewards honesty and punishes wrongdoing. Therefore, Job is being punished because of his sins. Occasionally, there are flashes of inspiration in what they say (e.g.Job 4:17-19). However, they often come up with false explanations, faulty logic, and wrong conclusions. For this reason, we should be careful not to quote them out of context as we seek to apply their words to our lives.
Food for Thought
