110: Shut up and Die (Job 11-15)
A man sits in rags while his woulds fester.
Three of his friends sit with him, explaining to him why he is suffering.
It is crystal clear to them: his suffering is a punishment from God, and because the suffering is severe, so must be the sin that he is being punished for.
What none of tyhem know is that Job is the subject of a game that is being played in the heavenly realm by God and the Devil.
His suffering is to prove to the Devil that nothing will make Job lose his faith in God.
Like three men trying to solve a puzzle without employing any lateral thinking, Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar are never going to come close to figuring out what is going on.
Nor though is Job, who suffers not only physical discomfort but the endless rebukes of three men who believe they have all the answers.
