After reading chapter 13:
*Job is still talking. He says he knows everything his friends know. He is not inferior to them. However, he wants to argue his case with God (el). His friends smear him with lies. If they would shut up, that would be wisdom. Are they going to speak deceitfully for God? Would they be able to take god's cross examination of their lives? Wouldn't they be afraid that all their fancy words wouldn't matter?
*Job tells them again to be quiet and let him speak. No matter what, he is going to defend himself. If anyone can bring a real charge against him, then he will be silent and die. Then he asks God to leave him alone and stop terrorizing him. Why is god treating him like an enemy? Is he holding him accountable for sins committed when he was young? God has fastened his feet in shackles - made him a slave.
This is getting very repetitious and tiresome.
