[Job 3b1]
Who do you think will hear all your words?
Who inspired you to speak like this?
Job is chiding Bildad for the weakness of his response. 😊
God stretched out the northern sky
and hung the earth in empty space.
Revelation!
It is his strength that conquered the sea;
by his skill he destroyed the monster Rahab.
It is his breath that made the sky clear,
and his hand that killed the escaping monster.
By skill destroyed the monster Rahab (Colossians 2:13-15; Revelation 20:10). By his strength conquered the sea (Revelation 21:1)?
…my conscience is clear.
My conscience is clear. I’m just ashamed of having accomplished so little in life. 😒
The wicked build houses like a spider’s web
or like the hut of a slave guarding the fields.
One last time they will lie down rich,
and when they wake up, they will find their wealth gone.
Terror will strike like a sudden flood;
a wind in the night will blow them away…
May it be completely otherwise with me, Lord (Matthew 7:24-25)!
Wisdom is not to be found among mortals;
No one knows its true value.
The depths of the oceans and seas
Say that wisdom is not found there.
It cannot be bought with silver or gold.
The finest gold and jewels
Cannot equal its value.
It is worth more than gold,
Than a gold vase or finest glass.
The value of wisdom is more
Than coral or crystal or rubies.
The finest topaz and the purest gold
Cannot compare with the value of wisdom.
