November 9, 2025 / Pastor Brayden Rakes / Winston Salem First AssemblyJob 7:16 “I despise my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone my days have no meaning.”
Job 7:20–21 If I have sinned, what have I done to you, you who see everything we do?’why have you made me your target?have I become a burden to you? Why do you not pardon my offenses and forgive my sins? For I will so lie down in the dust; you will search for me, but I will be no more.”
Job 8:1–6 Bildad replied: HOw one will you say such things? Your words are a blustering wind. Does God pervert justice? Does the almighty pervert what is right? When your children sinned against him, he have them over the penalty of their sin. But if you will seek god earnestly and plead with the almighty, if you are pure and upright, even now he will rouse himself on your behalf and restore your prosperous state.”
Job 16:1–5 I have heard many things like these; you are miserable comforters, all of you! Will your long-winded speeches never end? What ails you that you keep on arguing? I also could speak like you, if you were in my place; I could make fine speeches against you and shake my head at you. But my mouth would encourage you: comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
Job 18:2 When will you end these speeches? Be sensible, and we can talk.
Job 18:5 — “The lamp of the wicked man is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning.”
Job 19:1–3 How long will you torment me and crush me with words? Ten times now you have reproached me; shamelessly you attack me.
Job 19:7–10 “though I cry, ‘violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice. He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; he has shrouded my ash’s in darkness. He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head. He tears me down on every side till I am gone; he uproots my hope like a tree.
Job 42:5 — “My ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you.”
