Job 7 · Grade 3
I Will Not Keep Silent
Read the Story
Job said his days were like the days of a hired hand. When he lay down at night, he asked when he would arise. He tossed and turned until the dawning of the day.
Job said, My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. He asked God to remember that his life is a breath. As a cloud vanishes away, so a person who dies will not return to his house.
Then Job said he would not keep silent. He would speak in the anguish of his spirit. He asked God, What is man, that you should magnify him? He asked why God did not pardon him. Job was hurting, but he still spoke to God.
Memory Verse
““Therefore I will not keep silent. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.”
