(Circling back real quick to respond to your question from earlier...) Nobody is saying the man "cursed" his friend in the morning in Proverbs 27:14. If you see it, the point of the proverb is to express how blessing someone inappropriately (i.e., in this instance “loudly in the morning”) would...

Yes, the occasion would be when someone is using sarcasm. Also, here is what I found to the Blue Letter Bible link you provided H1288: KJV Translation Count — Total: 330x The KJV translates Strong's H1288 in the following manner: bless (302x), salute (5x), curse (4x), blaspheme (2x), blessing...

It seems very reductionary to make the understanding of the use of this word here so black and white. We already know hot does not mean cold, and that bless is not literally defined as curse. But what we can do is ask what the expression of this word in Job 1:11 and Job 2:5 actually means in its...

So is it your opinion that satan's prediction of Job about the second test was correct? barak: To bless, to kneel Original Word: בָרַךְ Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: barak Pronunciation: bah-rahk Phonetic Spelling: (baw-rak') Definition: To bless, to kneel Meaning: to kneel, to bless...

So Job suffers the loss of his possessions "without cause" in the first test, and responds by saying, "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD." The first test is without cause, and...

I think these are important questions, and I'm glad you bring them up. Thank you. As dramatic as Job's statements are, I do not believe they are in conflict with each other. Rather, what Job is expressing is everything that he is experiencing during his trial. All of what he is saying directly...

No worries. It's all good. We've been typing Elihu so much, and Eliphaz starts with the same letters, so it's an easy mistake for any of us.

I see what may have happened. That first headline near the top of your post says "Words of Elihu". Did you mean "Words of Eliphaz", Job's friend?

Another example of Job speaking right about God is found in chapter 28. It is chock-full of how much greater God is than man and extolling God about how He understands the way of wisdom. The end of chapter 28 Job states what God has said about wisdom: Job 28 And unto man He [God] said, Behold...

Job never speaks to Elihu in the story. Which verse are you referring to? Was it when Job said this perhaps in Job 12:3? 3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

Okay but there is something much more important to recognize here. I believe we both agree that God is Job's Redeemer. No question. So when Job says that his Redeemer lives, Job is speaking of the living God, Yahweh, and what Job is saying about God is right, as we have both agreed. Now when...

Thank you. The reason I was trying to clarify was because of something else you wrote. This is from you post #244 in your other thread: "All of Job"s words up to chapter 38 were condemned by God. Job 38:2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?" You wrote that all of...

Sorry, I was just trying to clarify. Was wondering if you meant Job's prophecy was accurate or not. That's all. Do you think he was right in what he said in 19:25?

So you believe Job 19:25 is prophetic. Is Job's prophecy correct?

What prophetic things did Job say?
