Bible Reading Plan - Chronological (Day 4 of 365)

Start reading the Bible today -- there is no better time, and there's no reason to wait. Set aside a specific time each day. Set your schedule and then stick to it. Mornings are great, but feel free to use any time that works consistently for you. Read the Bible for the sake of learning, not simply to accomplish your next reading. Say a short prayer to God before you begin, asking the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom and understanding, then be refreshed by the words you read!

Job 1: Job's Character and Wealth, Satan Allowed to Test Job, Satan Takes Job's Property and Children Job 2: Satan Attacks Job's Health, Job's Friends Job 3: Job Laments His Birth Job 4: Eliphaz Speaks: The Innocent Prosper Part I Job 5: Eliphaz Speaks: The Innocent Prosper Part II

Job 4:1-11

Eliphaz the Temanite spoke, saying, 

“If someone attempted a word with you, would you be angry? But who could stop themself from speaking?

Truly you have instructed many And strengthened hands that were weak

Those who were struggling  have been upheld by your words And knees that were shaking you have strengthened 

But now you are the one facing trouble  and you are weary It has touched you  and you are troubled 

Shouldn’t your piety be your confidence and your honest ways be your hope?

Remember who of the innocent has perished and where has the upright been cut off?

As I see it those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same

By the nishmat of Eloah they perish and by the ruah of His anger they are consumed 

The roar of the lion  and the voice of the fierce lion  and the teeth of the young lions are broken

The old lion dies when there is no food and the cubs of the lioness are separated.”

Part 1 of Eliphaz’s 4 part speech. 

nishmat (breath, blast): The same word as “breath” in Genesis 2:7. The supernatural wind or breath of God that gives and takes life. See also 2 Samuel 22:16, Psalm 18:15, Genesis 7:22, Isaiah 30:33, Job 26:4, and Job 37:10. 

“The human nishmat is the lamp of the LORD that sheds light on one’s inmost being.” (Proverbs 20:27 NIV)

ruah (wind, spirit): Same root as the word for “spirit” in Genesis 1:2. Can be physical wind, supernatural wind, or the metaphorical spirit of something. See also Psalm 33:6, Psalm 55:8, Exodus 15:8, Isaiah 4:4, and Isaiah 11:4.

“Now the ‘erets was tohu and bohu, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the ruah ‘Elohiym was hovering over the waters.” (Genesis 1:2 NIV)

naga’ (touch): The theme of being touched shows up periodically in the book of Job. The enemy asks God to touch Job and smite him; the wind touched the house and made it fall; when a person is dying they can reach out and touch death. The verb is used a lot in the Bible. In Job it is used in 1:11, 1:19, 2:5, 4:5, 5:19, 6:7, 19:21, and 20:6.

naqiy (innocent): See also Gen 24:41, Job 9:23, and Psalm 10:8.

tom (integrity): I am interested if this is the noun associated with the adjective tam. See also Gen 20:5-6, Job 21:23, Psalm 101:2, and Prov 2:7.

‘awen (iniquity): Job and David use this word a lot. See also Num 23:21, Deut 26:14, Job 5:6, and Psalm 5:5.

Job 4:12-21

“A secret was shared with me  A hidden truth, whispered in my ear 

An unsettling thought  from visions of night  when falls  deep sleep  on  men 

The secret disturbed me  and made my bones shake 

A ruah passed before my face  and made my hair stand up 

A specter whose form I could not understand  and a voice that broke the silence: 

Can a mortal be more just than Eloah?  Or a man be more pure than his Maker? 

Behold  He puts no trust in his servants  And he charges his mal’ake with error 

How much more those who dwell in houses of clay,  who are crushed like a moth? 

From morning to evening they are shattered to pieces  Unnoticed, they are gone forever 

They cannot take their excellence with them  And they die without wisdom.” 

Part 2 of Eliphaz’s 4 part speech. 

Eliphaz seems like a pain to talk to. “Look Job, I know you’re sad, but I was just shown the secrets of the universe, and they said stop being whiny”.

temunah (form): The appearance or likeness of something. Eliaphaz says he could not discern the form of the ruah that was before his eyes. See also Exodus 20:4, Deuteronomy 4:12-15, and Deuteronomy 5:8.

mal’ake: the actual word being used is ubemal’akaw (and the messengers of his) which I shortened to the similar word mal’ake because the rest of the phrase was already part of the English sentence. See also Isaiah 30:4, Isaiah 44:26, 2 Chronicles 36:15-16, Psalm 91:11, Psalm 103:20, Psalm 104:4, Psalm 148:2, and Ezekiel 17:15.
