Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of Job
This is episode #02 chapters 03 and 04.
Job Chapter 03, Suddenly, the text moves from prose to poetry. Job cries out that he is in pain, and rues the day he was born—poetically, of course.
Job Chapter 04, Breaking the silence, Eliphaz throws his two cents in. He says that Job must have done something wrong to merit this punishment. Innocents, he says, are never punished. And hey, if God even gets annoyed at his angels, how can humans pass the test? Basically, humans have no chance. Don't forget, folks—Job is still maintaining his innocence.
