Today I read Job 22:

Eliphaz answers Job by accusing him of being greedy and sinful. He assumes that Job is to blame for his own suffering and that he will be restored only if he turns from his sin and returns his riches to the dust and the ground, as though his riches alone were proof of his sin and ignoring of the poor and needy.

I read Job 21 today:

Job compares the fate, death, that the strong and prosperous have with the suffering and sick. Death overtakes them both.

I read Job 20:

Job is assumed to be wicked because Zophar believed he surely must be undergoing punishment of some sort.

Today I read Job 19:

Job replies to his friend accusers that he is in great suffering that that they are of no help, they are adding on to his suffering by pointing blame to him for his situation.

Today I read Job 18:

Bildad explains what happens to the wicked, and asks why Job treats his friends like they are ignorant.
