The beginning of Job's suffering, and the first cycle of speeches.
(14v7) "For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease"
Job's companions seem to make the same comment - Job's sin is the cause of his suffering. Job hopes in God, while demanding an answer from Him.
This is a tough book to get to grips with, especially because of the hebrew poem structure. I think I'll be better prepared for it second time around...
