Job 22-31

(29v4) "Oh, for the days...when the Almighty was still with me, and my children were around me..."
The third cycle of speeches. There is no avoiding Job's holiness - God calls him 'upright' and 'blameless'. But this was not perfection. Job was not to be the perfect suffering servant.
Job's friends seem to be asking 'What does this suffering tell us about Job?'. Job seems to be asking 'What does this suffering tell me about God?'
