The Book of Job Chapter 07 & 08 ESV Version.

Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of Job This is episode #04 chapters 07 and 08. Job Chapter 07, Job decides he won't take this lying down. This is his "why me?" moment. He asks God why he specifically has become God's target. He's in such pain that even death would be better. We're really starting to feel for the guy. Job Chapter 08, Bildad (friend #2) tells Job to repent. Why? He thinks it could have been his kids who sinned and brought this misery upon Job. Think Barty Crouch, Jr. Then he gets all poetic, comparing Job's suffering to a garden sown with bad seeds from his past or from his offspring. Hasn't your past ever come back to haunt you? Bildad is just trying to give the situation some sense for his buddy.
