INTRODUCTION AND REVIEW
I. Horizontal: Job Complains to His Friends (6.1-30)
   A. IF ONLY You Knew My Suffering (6:1-7)
       1. Suffering is Suffocating
       2. Suffers are Rarely Silent
           a. Careless, impetuous words
           b. What Happened to the Job of Chapter 1?
           c. What happened to the Job of Chapter 2?
   B. IF ONLY My Life Would End (6:8-13)
       1. Job longs for death - We see that in 7:15
       2. When the hope of death seems to be the only hope there is . . .
       3. But there’s a little bit of light left in Job’s soul
   C. IF ONLY You Were Loyal (6:14-23)
       1. Job longs for loyalty from his friends, particularly Eliphaz at this point
       2. “Kindness” = Hesed - One of the great Hebrew words of the O.T.
       3. Second half of verse 14 - difficulty in translation
       4. Job gives an illust. of how his friends were acting in vv. 15-20
       5. He points the finger directly at them in verse 21
       6. Job continues to defend his innocence in vv. 22-23 ==>
   D. IF ONLY You Were Compassionate (6:24-30)


CONCLUSION: These Four Main Points Bring Us Back to the Cross in that they Mark the Ministry of Jesus
   A. IF ONLY you knew my suffering . . .
   B. IF ONLY my life would end . . .
   C. IF ONLY you were loyal . . .
   D. IF ONLY you were compassionate . . .
