“And he said, ‘Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.’ In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong.” —Job 1:21-22 (ESV)
Bible Engagement
Tier 1: Job 40 Job is humbled
Tier 2: Job 34-35
Tier 3: Job 24-31
Tier 1
1. How does Job respond in Job 40:3-5 when God speaks to Him? (see chapters 38-39 for God’s first answer to Job’s questions)
2. Remember that the book of Job is considered poetry. Reread or listen to God’s description about the behemoth, believed to be a kind of hippopotamus, in Job 40:15-24. What does this reveal about God’s attention to His creation?
Tier 2
1. What does Elihu say is the reason for Job’s suffering?
2. How does Elihu describe God’s nature?
Tier 3
1. What does Job’s song of lament in Job 31 reveal about Job’s character?
2. Does Job’s reply support or challenge his friends’ reason for his suffering in chapters 24-30? Explain your answer.
