Job 31 and 32

After reading chapter 31:

*Job is still speaking. This chapter recounts all the wicked things Job has Not done, with poetic embellishments. He hasn't looked lustfully at a girl. He hasn't been decietful, or been enticed by a woman, or denied Justice to his servants, or denied the desires of the poor, or put his trust in gold, or been unfaithful to God, or rejoiced at his enemies' misfortune, or concealed secret sin, or misused his land. If he has done these things, he calls down particular curses upon his head for each offence. Now he signs his defense.  Let his accuser  put his indictment in writing. "The words of Job are ended." He's done talking. He lets his case rest. If only we were done with the book of Job.

After reading chapter 32:

*Now Job's "friends" are angry because Job justified himself, not God. Job is angry with his friends for continuing to condemn him, despite being unable to refute him. Elihu, the youngest of the men, angrily spoke up. He told how he had waited till everyone else was done talking, out of respect for their age. However, says he, not only the old are wise and understanding. Therefore, it is his turn to give them an earful. He has listened and has seen that no one was able to refute Job. Well he's got something to say and cannot be contained. He's going to speak without partiality or flattery. So there.
Stay tuned.
