Job 17:1–9, “My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation? Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me? For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them. He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret. Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.”
It isn’t too hard to maintain our faith when we understand what is happening but Job didn’t understand his situation. His body seemed to be decaying from within and his breath was full of the stench. Death seemed to be waiting for him. His friends refused to understand his situation, preferring to take perverse delight in his situation because he had been much better than they were. He had never tried to flatter his friends but had been willing to tell them the truth because he wasn’t a hypocrite and now they were enjoying his strife.
