I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading. I had been using One Year Bible Online, but it was time for a change.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Job 22-28.

    Eliphaz starts to conjecture about what sin Job must be guilty of. He still has no basis for these accusations except for the fact of Job’s suffering. Eliphaz conjectures that Job must have committed one or more of several sins against the poor and powerless. Job continues to maintain his innocence and expresses the desire to make his case before God. Bildad further responds that God is glorious and righteous and that no man is innocent before God. While Bildad was right, his statement brings no comfort to Job’s suffering. It had become more important to Bildad to win the argument than to offer Job useful advice. And here is where we need to admire Job, in the depths of all of his suffering, of feeling put upon by God, he vows to continue to obey God’s commands and to speak no evil. Job reminds his friends, and us, that for all of their attempts to appear wise they have missed one thing. True wisdom is fear of the Lord and those with true understanding forsake evil.
