Audio Drama Of Story Of Job
Part 7
Heylel: "Even if it kills me I will trust him, he says.What a
darn fool, even if it kills me I will trust him. Well as I said, these
dirt beings can believe anything.
But it's not over. Certainly
he can't believe that he is
right and Elohim is wrong."
BACK TO JOB AND HIS FRIENDS.
Zophar:"Your own mouth condemned you, not me.
Behold
he puts no trust in his angels. The heavens
are not clean
in his sight. How much more abdominal
is man? Who will
drink iniquity as water. The wicked
man is pregnant with
pain all of his days. He shall not
depart out of darkness.
Let him not that is deceived
trust in vanity because vanity
will be his reward."
Job: "I've heard many such things. Your all miserable
failures
as comforters. I could speak as you are speaking,
if the situation
were reversed. I could heap up words against
you and
shake my head."
Job: "But I would strengthen you with my words.
And the
moving of my lips would assuage your grief.
Upright men
shall be astonished at this. And the
innocent shall stir
himself up against hypocrites."
Bildad:"How long will it be before you make a end
of words?
Tell us so we can speak. Yeah the light of the
wicked shall
be put out, and the spark of his fire shall
not shine."
Job:
"How long will you vex my soul, and break me
in pieces
with your words. My kinfolks have failed. my
friends have
forgotten me. I know that my redeemer
lives and shall
stand on the last days upon the earth.
Why do the wicked
live, become old and is mighty in
power. Their children are
established before their eyes.
Their eyes are safe from fear,
and neither is the rod of
God upon them. They spend their
days in wealth. Therefore they say what is the almighty that
we should serve him."
Eliphaz: "Is it any pleasure to the almighty that
you are
righteous?
Does he gain anything if you perfect your ways?
Is not your
wickedness great and your iniquities infinite?
Acquaint yourself
with God. And be at peace, and there by
good shall come to you.
If you return to the almighty you
shall be built up. You should put
away iniquities from your
dwelling, and you should make your
prayers to him. And
he will hear you."
Job: "Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I
might
come to
his seat. I would know what he would say to me.
Would he plead
against me with his great power? No, he
would he put strength into
me. That is how the righteous
might dispute with him. But he knows
the way I'd take,
and when he has tried me I shall come forth as
gold.
Neither have I gone back from his commandants. Yeah
I have
esteemed the words of his mouth, more than my
necessary food."
Job continues lament change in his life.
"Oh that I were in the months past, as I were in the days
that
Elohim preserved me. When by his light I walked
through
darkness. When the almighty was with me and
my children
were with me. In the city the young men saw
me, and hid
themselves. The aged men rose, stood up.
Princes stopped
talking and the Nobles held their peace."
Job:"When the ear heard me it blessed me, and when the
eye
saw me it gave witness because I
delivered the poor that cried.
And the fatherless,
and him that had none to help. But now,
them that
are younger than I, have me in derision who's fathers
I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my
flock. Oh that
one would hear me.
My desire is
that the almighty will answer me.
And that
my
adversary had written a book, surly I would have
taken it upon my shoulder and bind it as a crown
to me."
So Jobs friends ceased to dispute with him because he was
righteous in his own eyes. But a young man named Elihu, son
of Barachel the Buzite, who had
sat back and listened to them
trade opinions became
upset because Jobs friends had
accused him.
