Job 15-21

"God gives me up to the ungodly and casts me into the hands of the wicked" (16v11)
The second cycle of speeches. Job's friends concentrate on sin as a cause of suffering. Job talks of the reality of a redeemer, his own sorrow, and the lack of comfort he receives from those around him. He still does not seem to realise that even the question "Why have you forsaken me?" can be part of God's providence.

I'm praying, John! May God's power be known, and His providence understood!
