January 22: Job 12:1 – Job 14:22



Job Replies: The Lord Has Done This – Job 12

  • Job calls himself a laughingstock, and claims that who—people or animals—doesn't know that the Lord has caused what happened to him. He goes on to talk of God's greatness and how He can do anything He pleases.

Job Continues: Still I Will Hope in God – Job 13
  • Job continues that in spite of his circumstances, he will still trust in the Lord—that he will trust Him "though he slay me." (Job 13: 15). Job claims that he has prepared his case and he knows that he is right.

Job Continues: Death Comes Soon to All – Job 14
  • Job agrees with Eliphaz, that man is born for trouble and stresses life's shortness and misery. He goes on to say that man's days are numbered, which emphasizes his belief that God is sovereign, and claims that trees are better off than humans because they can regrow.
