Day 148: ACCUSATION, Anguish, and Isolation in Job 15-17 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

On Day 148 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we cover Job 15-17. Eliphaz escalates his accusations, claiming Job’s suffering proves his wickedness. Job, feeling increasingly isolated, laments the absence of comfort from his friends and God’s apparent silence, yet clings to a faint hope in a heavenly advocate.

Questions:
1. Eliphaz’s harsh words in chapter 15 misjudge Job’s pain as evidence of guilt—how does his error challenge us to consider the importance of empathy over assumptions when supporting those enduring unexplained suffering?

2. Job’s cry in chapter 16 for a heavenly witness to plead his case—how might this longing prompt us to reflect on the human need for divine advocacy, fulfilled in Christ’s role as our intercessor?

3. In chapter 17, Job’s despair deepens as he feels abandoned—how does his persistence in speaking to God amid isolation invite us to wrestle with the tension between human loneliness and the hope of God’s unseen presence?
