Daily Devotional - Job 15:1-35 - Empty Words or Eternal Wisdom?Eliphaz lashes out, claiming Job's pain proves guilt—but sometimes pain isn't punishment, it's purpose.
The Book of Job asks some of life's most challenging questions... and the answers it gives call us to trust the Lord. But is there any benefit to trusting Him and obeying Him? Definitely! We'll unpack some of those benefits in today's podcast on Job 42: Job's Repentance and Restoration. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. The podcast mentioned that the book of Job addresses questions like, “Why is there so much suffering in this world? What kind of power does Satan have? Can I trust God, even when I don't understand Him?” Are any of these questions ones that have you asked in the past? How have you answered them? What is the Book of Job's answers to these questions? 2. The podcast also gave the following summaries of the advice from Job's friends: Eliphaz derived his wisdom from age and experience. Bildad derived his counsel from the wisdom of crowds and the authority of what the experts say. Zophar derived his wisdom from the pursuit of righteousness. And Elihu derived his wisdom from the pursuit of passion and zeal. Does any of this advice frame your own thinking? If so, how can you move on from that way of thinking? 3. Once the Lord begins to set the record straight in Job 38, what has He said so far? How has the question of “who?” been the ultimate answer to the question of “why?” 4. What did Job's repentance consist of in verses 2, 3, and 6? Why were these statements necessary for Job to say to the Lord? Have you ever said these kinds of things to the Lord? Why or why not? 5. After Job's repentance, how does the Lord restore him? What does this teach us about the Lord's desire to bless His people? 6. Sometimes people think that bad things happen to people because they are under judgment from God. What does the Book of Job show us, instead? 7. From what you have learned from the Book of Job, how should we think of God and His plans for our life? How can you align more with this mindset?

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla – April 28, 2025: God Rebukes Job's Friends (Job 42:7–8)In today's devotion, Pastor Balla reflects on Job 42:7–8 (ESV), where God turns His attention to Job's friends, declaring, “My anger burns against you… for you have not spoken of me what is right.” Their flawed theology and harsh assumptions are corrected by the Lord Himself, who demands not only repentance but intercession—from Job, the very man they had judged.This passage is a powerful reminder that what we say about God matters deeply—especially in times of suffering. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar are rebuked not for questioning, but for misrepresenting God's justice and mercy. Yet, God offers a path of reconciliation, marked by humility, sacrifice, and the prayers of a righteous sufferer.

Job Chapters 15, 16, 17 The post Second Round of Speeches : Eliphaz & Job appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.
Daily Devotional - Job 6:1-30 - The Weight of Grief: Job Defends His Lament “Do you think your words are helpful? Do you even hear my pain?” – That's the heart of Job's cry in chapter 6.After being judged by Eliphaz, Job responds—not with excuses, but with honesty. He pours out his grief, describing it as heavier than the sand of the sea. He doesn't need correction; he needs compassion.
Daily Devotional - Job 5:1-27 - False Comfort: Eliphaz Offers Advice Without UnderstandingSometimes people mean well... but their words miss the mark.
Daily Devotional - Job 4:1-21 - When Friends Speak: Eliphaz Break The SilenceHave you ever poured out your pain—only to be met with judgment instead of comfort? That's what happened to Job.
This week's message explores the final round of debate between Job and his friends, as their arguments unravel and their frustration boils over. Eliphaz pleads with Job to repent, Bildad offers a cold and rigid view of God's justice, and Zophar remains silent—defeated by Job's unwavering stance. Their faulty theology leaves no room for innocent suffering, showing that they have misrepresented God rather than bringing true comfort.Yet Job stands firm. Though he does not understand his suffering, he refuses to turn away from God. In his longing for a mediator, we see a glimpse of the gospel—our need for One who will stand between us and God. That hope is fulfilled in Jesus, our true Redeemer and Advocate.When suffering comes, we must cling to the truth of who God is, cry out to Him in honesty, and trust in Christ, the One who fully understands our pain and intercedes on our behalf.
Job's poetry continues with the speeches of Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, who did so well in silence and now do so badly when they speak. Read Job 4 and 5 and thanks for listening!
Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla | God's Sovereignty in Trials | Job 5:8-11Join Pastor Balla for today's daily devotion as we explore God's sovereignty in trials through Job 5:8-11. When suffering strikes, where do we turn? Eliphaz urges Job to seek God, who does great and unsearchable things—giving rain, lifting the lowly, and comforting the brokenhearted. But does Eliphaz miss the bigger picture? God's providence is not always about fixing circumstances but calling us to trust in His perfect will. Even when answers seem distant, His grace sustains. Trials test our faith, but God's presence remains unshaken. Watch, reflect, and be encouraged as we seek God in every storm.
2 Corinthians 5:6-82 Timothy 1:101 John 4:11 Thessalonians 5:21Paul Tournier – “We are always nearly longing for an easy religion, easy to understand and easy to follow. A religion with no mystery, no insoluble problems, no snags. A religion that would allow us to escape from our miserable human condition. A religion in which contact with God spares us all strife, all uncertainty, all suffering, and all doubt. In short, religion without the cross.”Alexander Whyte – “But what Satan could not do with all his Sibeans and all the Chaldeans and all his winds from the wilderness to help him, that he soon did with the debating approaches and the controversial assaults of Eliphaz and Zophar and Bildad and Elihu. Oh, the unmitigable curse of controversy.”
In this episode, Job's "fried" Eliphaz accuses Job of being unrighteous!

It is said that desperate times call for desperate measures, but sometimes, in the heat of the moment, those measures can be downright cruel. We've seen Job's so-called friends escalate their attacks, but today, Eliphaz stops pulling punches altogether. In fact, Eliphaz goes so far as to fabricate sins that Job never committed. Oppressing the poor? Withholding food and water from the needy? Sounds like a cheap shot from a man running out of theological arguments. But here's a deeper question: Why do we, like Eliphaz, rush to explain suffering with neat and tidy answers? Why do we prefer blaming the victim instead of sitting with the mystery of God's ways? The Rev. Dr. Curtis Deterding, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Fort Myers, FL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Job 22. Why do the righteous suffer? That's the burning question at the heart of the book of Job—one of the most profound and challenging books in all of Scripture. From a Lutheran perspective, Job's story isn't just about a man enduring unimaginable hardship; it's about wrestling with God's will, grappling with well-meaning but misguided advice, and ultimately finding comfort in God's grace rather than human understanding. As Job's friends offer simplistic answers, Job demands the truth, and God's response reminds us of His infinite wisdom and mercy. Through it all, we see glimpses of Christ—the truly innocent sufferer—who redeems our pain and points us to the cross, where suffering meets salvation. Join us as we journey through Job, confronting tough questions about faith, suffering, and God's mysterious ways with hope grounded in Christ alone. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

The post Speeches of Eliphaz and Job 4:1 – 7:21 appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.
Iyov 36 and 37: Elihu's final speech - the fourth and final argument of the fourth and final friend - according to many of the medieval commentators, it is the speech that finally presents the appropriate response to Iyov's sufferings.Rabbi Gamliel Shmalo, in a masterful third installment on Elihu, channels Rav Soloveitchik's Kol Dodi Dofek develops the idea that suffering should direct our attention to the future rather than to the past - an idea that Iyov and Eliphaz for all their differences have failed to understand.

Job has spoken his mind. He has challenged his friends, questioned their wisdom, and even dared to press God for answers. But now, Eliphaz steps back in—and he's had enough. The gloves come off. No more soft words, no more attempts at gentle correction. Eliphaz calls Job arrogant, accuses him of undermining true wisdom, and doubles down on the old argument: The wicked suffer, Job. So, if you're suffering you must be wicked. It's logical, but is Eliphaz defending God, or just defending his own faulty beliefs? The Rev. Paul Cain, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Sheridan, WY, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Job 15. Why do the righteous suffer?

There's a weight to suffering that words can't always lift. When the pain runs deep, advice—no matter how well-intentioned—can feel empty. That's where we find Job in chapter 6. He's had enough of Eliphaz's wisdom, enough of empty platitudes, and enough of trying to make sense of his suffering with neat little answers. Instead of giving in, Job speaks from the depths of his anguish, longing for real understanding, and maybe, just maybe, a little compassion. The Rev. Steven Theiss, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Job 6. Why do the righteous suffer? That's the burning question at the heart of the book of Job—one of the most profound and challenging books in all of Scripture.

Job responds to Eliphaz and Bildad as they champion their retribution theology.
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to hand out advice when you're not the one suffering? It's one thing to talk about God's justice from the comfort of your own life, but it's another when you're the one in the ashes. Eliphaz continues his advice that began in the previous chapter. He thinks he's offering Job wisdom—trust God's discipline, endure hardship, and everything will work out. But is he really seeing the whole picture? Or is he just repeating what sounds good? The Rev. Jacob Heine, pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Topeka, KS, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Job 5. Why do the righteous suffer? That's the burning question at the heart of the book of Job—one of the most profound and challenging books in all of Scripture.

Ever had a friend who, with the best intentions, just completely missed the mark? You're pouring out your heart, and they hit you with, “well, everything happens for a reason”—yeah, thanks for that. When we face suffering, well-meaning friends often try to offer wisdom—sometimes helpful, sometimes not so much. In Job 4, Eliphaz steps forward with what he believes is sound advice, drawing from his own experience and understanding of God's justice. But does his counsel bring clarity, or does it miss the deeper reality of Job's suffering? The Rev. Roger Mullet, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Buffalo, WY, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Job 4. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev.

In Job 23 and 24, Job responds to Eliphaz's accusation that he is exceedingly wicked. Job's response covers two chapters. Do you have the freedom in Christ to argue before God?
Chapters 23 and 24: Iyov responds with pathos and humanity when considering the wretched of the earth in contrast to Eliphaz's crude judgements.Rafi Addlestone, channeling Les Mis, begins with the tragedy of a breakup but ends with the glory of Harry Kane. In the middle he speaks about Iyov :). Vindaloo. Text here: https://www.sefaria.org/Job.23?lang=bi, https://www.sefaria.org/Job.24?lang=bi
In Job 22, Eliphaz declares Job's wickedness must be great! “Can a man be profitable to God?” (v. 2). Do you think God needs you?
Eliphaz proposes the theology of retribution and Job responds.
Eliphaz attacks Iyov with a long list of crimes. What is the basis of Eliphaz' accusations? Could Iyov be guilty of these things?
When we last left Job, he complained that there was no mediator between God and man, and bemoaned the Almighty's ever-watching eye. Zophar chimes in with similar heartless rebukes as those spoken by the rest of his crew, emphasizing that Job shouldn't challenge God. Job, in reply, tells his friends that he is well-aware of all the things that his friends are telling him. Job tells God that he wishes he were dead, contending if that were the case, at least then God would leave him alone. Finally, Eliphaz begins round two of the speeches, scolding Job and declaring that wicked people are the ones who writhe in pain and have no peace, insinuating that Job must be wicked.Job 11 - 1:02 . Job 12 - 3:35 . Job 13 - 6:51 . Job 14 - 10:27 . Job 15 - 14:40 .

In Job 16 and 17, Job responds to Eliphaz's accusation that he did not fear God. He has a pity party, poor me. Are you in the midst of a pity party?
In Job 15, his friend, Eliphaz, accuses Job of not fearing God. Do you fear God? Does anybody know you do? Can you defend your faith?
Iyov Chs.16 + 17 - Iyov responds to Eliphaz with anger and frustration.Ilana Stein shares her thoughts on the chapters with help from our great teacher Maureen Kendler z"l and invokes Shakespeare to solve the 'spoiler problem' while she's at it. Text here: https://www.sefaria.org/Job.16?lang=bi, https://www.sefaria.org/Job.17?lang=bi
Iyov Ch.15 - Eliphaz speaks again, beginning the second round of the friends' responses. In my audio I share a teaching on the Talmud's presentation of the friends of Iyov as the paradigm model of how not to speak to someone experiencing terrible pain. Text here: https://www.sefaria.org/Job.15?lang=bi
The second round of discussions get underway. Eliphaz speaks first. In essence he will accuse Iyov that his troubles and torments are his own fault. He is a sinner. He has gotten what he deserves.
In Job 6 and 7, Job responds to the accusations from Eliphaz in chapters 4 and 5. Do you suffer the weariness of life: months of emptiness, nights of misery, the terrors of God arrayed against you?
In Job 4 and 5, the discussions begin between Job and his three friends. Friend number one, Eliphaz, counsels Job that the innocent prosper. Are you innocent before your Maker? Is anyone pure before a Holy God?
Iyov Ch13+14: a critical turning point as Iyov takes Eliphaz up on his suggestion of taking his case to God.In my recording I share what is my favourite _kri ketiv_ of all time, how a simple difference between how a word is written and how it is pronounced can dramatically change the meaning of a chapter. A thought for ch14 that I didn't mention in the recording: Iyov contrasts humanity to trees - when a human is struck, they are done for, whereas a tree can regenerate. Why on earth do people, so lowly, deserve God's attention so intensely? Text here: https://www.sefaria.org/Job.13?lang=bi, https://www.sefaria.org/Job.14?lang=bi
Iyov and his friend Eliphaz are not merely having a philosophical argument, they are speaking at cross-purposes, they are engaged in different languages. In this podcast we speak about how we might approach someone who is experiencing pain and suffering.
Eliphaz appeals to Iyov, that in the broad long run of history, God might sometimes strike a bitter blow, but in the broad calculus of time: "He {God} injures, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands heal." We ask whether this is a convincing argument.
Welcome to Day 2516 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – My Guardian Angel – I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2516 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2516 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today is the thirty-third lesson in our segment, Theology Thursday. Utilizing excerpts from a book titled: I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible written by Hebrew Bible scholar and professor the late Dr. Michael S Heiser, we will invest a couple of years going through the entire Bible, exploring short Biblical lessons that you may not have received in Bible classes or Church. The Bible is a wonderful book. Its pages reveal the epic story of God's redemption of humankind and the long, bitter conflict against evil. Yet it's also a book that seems strange to us. While God's Word was written for us, it wasn't written to us. Today's lesson is: My Guardian Angel. “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.” These are familiar words for those of us who follow the holiday tradition of watching the classic film It's a Wonderful Life. The angel Clarence helps George Bailey discover the unseen but tremendous significance his mundane life played in the lives of others. It's a heartwarming story, full of hope and encouragement. But what about its theology? Are guardian angels—like Clarence—really biblical? Jesus' words in Matthew 18:10 suggest the answer is yes: “Beware that you don't look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father. The passage affirms that children have angels who represent them before God. Where did Matthew get such an idea? In Job 5:1, angels are presented as mediators between God and people. Job's friend Eliphaz challenges him: “Cry for help, but will anyone answer you? Which of the angels[a] will help you? Eliphaz presumes that angels would act as mediators between God and Job. This understanding was common in the biblical world. Ancient Mesopotamians, for example, believed that humans had “personal gods” who could appeal for them before the assembly of gods. We no longer need a mediator. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus now intercedes on our behalf before God (1 Tim 2:5). But the New Testament still describes angels as having an immediate ministry to believers, as demonstrated by Hebrews 1:14: Therefore, angels are only servants—spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation. Also, the narrative in Acts 12 shows us a continued connection between angels and people. After an angel frees Peter from prison and execution, Peter goes to the house of his fellow believers (12:6-10). Those inside don't believe the servant girl's report that he is at the door. They reply, “It must be his angel!” (12:15). This statement testifies to the early Christian...
