Wednesday Bible Study: Yeah, this is getting tedious

 Sorry for the limited posting of late, I ' ve been distracted by a few issues. Proposal hell, small town politics, memorial arrangement for my mother -- yeah, I have excuses. But I ' ll get back to it.Meanwhile, I have to admit the Book of Job is getting very tiresome. It ' s long-winded and repetitive. Apparently the profession of editor had not been invented in the 6th Century BCE so the author indulges himself with an endless and tedious stream of imagery. I ' m tempted to fast forward but for now we ' ll just stay with the program. Basically, it ' s the same argument. The " comforters " are telling Job he must have done something to deserve this, he says they have no right to speak for God and he ' ll speak for himself. Yeah, we go that. Anyway, here it is again.13 “My eyes have seen all this,    my ears have heard and understood it.2 What you know, I also know;    I am not inferior to you.3 But I desire to speak to the Almighty    and to argue my case with God.4 You, however, smear me with lies;    you are worthless physicians, all of you!5 If only you would be altogether silent!    For you, that would be wisdom.6 Hear now my argument;    listen to the pleas of my lips.7 Will you speak wickedly on God ’s behalf?    Will you speak deceitfully for him?8 Will you show him partiality?&nbs...
