So....do you think that Job's friends are speaking the truth in love? It seems to me that they are speaking truth, but it doesn't apply to Job, and they are judging, not speaking in love.'?
Both the NIV and NRSV talk about how the final verses of Chapter 26 don't sound like Job...
and then we move into where wisdom comes from.
Clearly, Job and his friends differ in where wisdom can be found....Eliphaz believes it is experience and firsthand knowledge. Bildad believes it is inherited from the past with proverbs and sayings. Zophar believes that wisdom belongs to the wise and that he himself was wise. Job believes that God is the source of wisdom....have you ever been in a situation where you knew what was right and you seemed to be in the vast minority?
