Job 25-27

It took just 10 minutes to reads this passage. Bildad is the next to speak, and he challenges Job. "How can you charge God with inflicting you?" "God is pure, right, and hoy in all of his ways. He never acts unjustly." Job reponds by commenting on the value of these words given his circumstances. The friends had observed nothing unrighteous in Job's life, yet their theology would not allow them to say anything that even remotely sounded like they were challenging God. The reason for Job's situation had to be a hidden sin. But Job makes a committment; he will only speak what is true and righteous regardless of his circumstance.
