Job 19-20
Job 19
Job is still trying to make his point - that even if he has erred, his err is within him, and all the external things happening to him are from God. It appears to Job, that all that has happened to him is by God's very hand, that his hand is set against Job as against an enemy. He says that because of this, all of the people he once knew have nothing to do with him; even his breath is loathsome to his wife! God and his friends are not satisfied with the suffering of his flesh alone, according to Job.
Job lays into his friends with the confidence of his own salvation, for he tells them that they will be judged for their deeds against him and that Job has a redeemer!
Job20
Zophar is so agitated by these claims against him that he is moved to speak. He says that the joy of the wicked is short and that they too die just as all men. The wicked will eventually have to return all that they have taken, and his prosperity will never endure. Death will reveal to all the wicked and the righteous.
Praise the Lord that he is a redeemer; that I am given grace as salvation and that I do not have to work for that free gift! I could never measure up to God's measure of righteousness, and for his grace I am thankful!
