I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Job 7, Job concludes his answer to Eliphaz. Job said that his days were drawing swiftly to a close. Like a hireling or a weary servant, he longed for the reward of his work. But his sleep was disturbed constantly during the night. His body was covered with worms and dirt; and his days flew swifter than a weaver's shuttle and were spent without hope (1-6). He then spoke to God, asking him to remember that his life is wind and he would see good no more. He would soon be seen no more like a cloud which vanishes. He would soon go to the grave, never to return to his house; and his place would know him no more (7-10). He therefore spoke in the anguish of his spirit and complained in the bitterness of his soul. He asked if he needed to be watched or guarded like the (dangerous, unruly) sea or a whale (or some other dangerous animal). He was not dangerous; to the contrary, he was terrified by the dreams and the visions which God sent to him. He would prefer strangling and death. He asked to be left alone because he would soon die ("swallow down my spittle"). He admitted that he had sinned (generally, at least); but he asks what did that do to God (how did it burden him) that he should become God's target and be burdensome to himself. He asks why God did not pardon his transgressions and take away his iniquity. (In previous chapters it is clear that Job kept himself and his household right with God; so he could not understand God's lack of forgiveness). He urged God to help him soon because he would soon be gone, and he would seek him in the morning but would not find him. This implies that, previously, Job had a sense of communion with God; and it is reminiscent of the communion which Adam and Eve seemingly had, morning by morning with God (Genesis 3:8-10), in the Garden of Eden (11-21).

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
