Job 23 - 28

In this 3rd and final cycle of antagonism from Job’s three friends, Eliphaz has already spoken, Bildad makes a very brief attempt to justify God in chapter 25, and Zophar has given up speaking altogether.

Job spends the majority of these chapters in declaring the greatness of God and His ways, and persisting in saying that He was guilty of no traitorous thoughts or actions against Him. We would do well to adopt his outlook on this trial, which he states as follows…

But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
Job 23:10
