Looking for Job
Job 21
Look! I know exactly what you are thinking
And the schemes you devise to wrong me.
For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prominent man,
And where is the tent in which the wicked one lived?’
Have you not questioned travelers?
Do you not carefully study their observations,
That an evil person is spared on the day of disaster
And rescued on the day of fury?
Who will confront him about his way,
And who will repay him for what he has done?
When he is carried to the graveyard,
A vigil will be kept over his tomb.
The clods of earth of the valley will be sweet to him,
And all mankind follows after him
Like the countless number before him.
So why offer me meaningless comfort?
There is nothing but deceit in your answers!”
- According to Job’s experience, the wicked one thrives !
- Thus the men who are speaking to him are wrong !
- They are not helpful at all !
- Thus they should keep silent !
- But sometimes someone’s presence is better than words !
- Dogs don’t speak but their presence can do a lot !
- But empty words don’t bring comfort !
- Get away from this old world of Chaos and prepare for the New World!
- don’t do like the Israelites who stayed in the old world and died!
