nature this was the very object god had in view in permitting him to be tested by satan and exposed because of his sufferings to the suspicion of his friends wko could not believe that a truly gojd man would be allowed by god to endure the physical anguish and the mental torment to which the patriarch was exposed the book of job is the book of repentance here god takes up not the worst but the best man he could find on earth and shows us how this good man was brought to the recognition of the sinfulness of his nature despite the outward per fection of his behaviour so that he cried i abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes chap 42 6 the lesson for us is plain if so excel lent a man needed to repent then surely none can fail to realize that god is righteous when he com mands all men everywhere to repent acts 17 30 and to come to the knowledge of the truth 1 tim 24 no one who knows god aright will ever be complacent about his own righteousness how ever blameless his life may be verso by verse job 1 1 a man whose name was job the character of this man is depicted in the opening verse a man of piety and exempl ary behavior he dwelt in the land of uz or huz on the southeast of palestine and settled early by the descendants of esau and later an nexed to the land of edom chap 27 1 job continued his parable what precedes this m chapter 20 and follows it in chap ters 27 to 31 constitutes jobs final defence of his character after his three friends eliphaz bildad and zophar had tried in vain to make him acknowledge that he was affilicted by god because of hidden sin in his life verse 2 god who hath taken away my judgment and vexed my soul job knew that god was dealing with him but he could not understand why he called god to witness to the integrity of his heart verse 3 the spirit of god is in my nostrils he was not referring to the holy spirit but to his own human spirit dwelling in the body so long as breath remained the spirit is the real man the body is the habitation or tabernacle in which it dwells 2 cor 5 18 2 pet 11314 verse 1 my lips shall not speak wickedness nor utter deceit if job had acknowledged what his friends desired him to con fess that he was suffering because of hidden wickedness he would have lied against his own soul he was not conscious of such evil be havior so he could not be honest and confess that what they charged him with was true verse 5- till i die i will not remove mine integrity from me job was a righteous man and he knew it what he had not learned was the sinfulness of his own heart and the corruption of his nature chap 31 lit if 1 have seen any perish for want of clothing in coming to the close of his defense of himself job insists on his concern for others his care for the needy his compassion for the poor if it wore otherwise he calls god to attest it by making manifest his iniquity verse 20 if he were not warm ed with the fleece of my sheep he had ever been ready to minister to the poor and share his wealth with those less fortunate than himself verse 21 if i have lifted up my hand against the fatherless he was certain none could accuse him honestly of taking advantage of any who were in distress but rather the contrary verse 22 then let my arm fall from my shoulder blade if guilty of any unkind or uncharitable ac tions he called upon god to render him helpless verse 23 for destruction from god was a terror to me he dread ed the divine displeasure and so had endeavored to live so that god might have no occasion to smite him in judgment verse 24 if i have made gold my confidence he was immense ly wealthy but he did not trust in his riches but in god himself verse 25 if i rejoiced because my wealth was great he recogniz ed gods goodness in providing abundantly for him yet he did not

which had been swept away verses 26 27 if i beheld the sun or the moon and my heart hath been secretly enticed already the sun and the moon were worshiped as deities by the people of nearby lands but he had never allowed himself to become guilty of thus denying the one i living and true god verse 2s i should have denied the god that is above to have looked idolatrously upon the heavenly bodies and sacrificed to them would have been to apostatize from the monotheism which he con fessed in regard to all these things and to many more which he men tioned in this long defense he knew he was guiltless in these chapters he uses the pronouns i me my mine over 100 times this was his righteousness which he held fast in other words it was his religion before he saw the lord the heart of the lesson so far as human righteousness goes job had more of which to boast than any other man of his time moreover it was the mani festation of new life for he was a true child of god whose faith was seen in his manner of behavior but he had to learn that the best of men possess the same evil nature as that which is found in the worst of sinners it was to give him tne realization of this that god per mitted him to be so sorely tried and tested we need not fee that suffer ing is an evidence of the divine dis favor for the lord chastens or instructs by discipline those whom he loves we all need
