111: The King of Terrors (Job 16-20)

Wholly Buyable

Job is utterly bewildered.
His friends are convinced that he has done something dreadful to warrant so much suffering.
He knows that he hasn't, and simply wants a hearing with God.
This opens a can of worms.
Is Job, a mere human, claiming that God has made a mistake?
Listeners feel especially smug knowing that all parties are wrong.
Job hasn't sinned, at least no more than the average person.
And God hasn't made a mistake, he's simply playing a game.
Schadenfreude is set to high as Job's friends set themselves up for a catastrophic fall.
But will Job himself be vindicated?
First he has to stay alive, and hear yet more godly wisdom from friends who prove to be not quite as wise as they think.
