Job 11:4-6



Job 11:4-6 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes. But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee; And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth. Zophar is Job’s third friend. Zophar has a holier-than-thou attitude when he speaks. He thinks that he is better than Job. Zophar goes on to say that Job is not even getting all that he should get from God’s judgment. But is God judging Job? No, Satan is tormenting Job. So when Zophar thinks he has it all figured out, he actually knows nothing of what is really going on in Job’s life. How do you think Job feels when his so-called friends accuse him of sin? Job knows that he is innocent, but his friends are accusing him of sin! They don’t trust Job and they don’t believe Job. Not very good friends. I hope we have better friends than Job!
