Job 7:5-6 NLT, MY BODY IS COVERED WITH MAGGOTS AND SCABS. MY SKIN BREAKS OPEN, OOZING WITH PUS. “MY DAYS FLY FASTER THAN A WEAVER’S SHUTTLE. THEY END WITHOUT HOPE.
For Job this is hell; FOR IN HELL THERE IS NO HOPE, ‘THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED (Mark 9:48)
Isa 38:18, For SHEOL cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; THOSE WHO GO DOWN TO THE PIT CANNOT HOPE FOR YOUR TRUTH.
Job 7:13-15, When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me, My couch will ease my complaint,’ Then YOU SCARE ME WITH DREAMS AND TERRIFY ME WITH VISIONS, So that my soul chooses strangling And death rather than my body.
For Job there is no rest during the day or even in his sleep, and he attributes all this pain to GOD? His hope now is to die! WHAT JOB AND HIS, SO CALLED, FRIENDS DON’T KNOW IS THIS IS FROM SATAN HIMSELF! TRYING, WITH ALL HIS MIGHT, TO PROVE GOD WRONG!
1Pe 5:8, BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR.
Job 7:20, HAVE I SINNED? WHAT HAVE I DONE TO YOU, O WATCHER OF MEN? WHY HAVE YOU SET ME AS YOUR TARGET, SO THAT I AM A BURDEN TO MYSELF? WHY THEN DO YOU NOT PARDON MY TRANSGRESSION, AND TAKE AWAY MY INIQUITY?
JOB KNOWS GOD, HE IS MERCIFUL, PATIENT, LONGSUFFERING, AND READY TO FORGIVE, YET JOB SAYS “WHAT HAVE I DONE THAT YOU DON’T PARDON ME?”
Psa 130:3-4, IF YOU, LORD, SHOULD MARK INIQUITIES, O LORD, WHO COULD STAND? BUT THERE IS FORGIVENESS WITH YOU…
WE ALL HAVE SINNED AGAINST GOD, NOT ONE OF US IS GOOD, YET HIS LOVE FOR US IS GREATER THAN OUR SINS TOWARDS HIM!
Isa 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW; THOUGH THEY ARE RED LIKE CRIMSON, THEY SHALL BE AS WOOL.
