Job 13 · Grade 4
Physicians of No Value
Read and Think
Job told his friends that he knew as much as they did. He wanted to speak to the Almighty and reason with God. He called them forgers of lies and physicians of no value, and said that if they would be completely silent, they would be wise.
Job asked whether they would speak unrighteously for God and talk deceitfully for Him. He warned that God would reprove them if they showed partiality. This warning came true in chapter 42, when God was angry with the friends.
Job said, Behold, he will kill me. I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him. He set his cause in order and asked God to call him and let him answer. He asked how many his sins were, and why God hid His face and treated him as an enemy.
