Desperate to prove his point, Job’s acquaintance gets more negative and more obviously misconstrues the truth.

Job hints at a time and place beyond the current and that there he will answer GOD’s call

Zophar is even more bluntly accusatory than his friends basically stating that Job must be guilty to be in these circumstances. Job’s refute tomorrow

Job mentions GOD’s Incredible Creation and that he knows GOD’s Power in Creation as wrestles with his current circumstances.

Bildad blames Job’s children for sinning causing them all to be lost. GOD answers this later. We should be kind, as Job has already stated, in these circumstances and not judge the cause but let that be a discussion between that person and GOD

Job gives insight as to the appropriate response in moments of trial and that man is not just dust but Spirit and that makes a difference.

Job’s first companion brings a simple acts based view slowly getting around to blaming Job for his consequences but it includes a particularly dark conveyance of the view of man as dust.

Eliphaz relates to Job an encounter with the enemy that devalues GOD’s Creation and choice to redeem man rather than angels.

Job does not understand and curses the day of his birth. GOD answers that prayer and is there even when Job cannot see the way ahead.

GOD answered not just Moses and Aaron in the cloud over the tabernacle but Samuel as well. How awesome is that!
