2.2 The Speeches of Job

 

The Speeches of Job

by Frank L. Preuss

 

This is a study aid for studying the book of Job. It lists the people appearing in that book and where they speak. It also gives some indication regarding the amount of words they speak. The quantity of words is measured in number of lines written or spoken (Amplified Bible).

One of the helps it gives is that when one reads a specific verse in the book of Job this list lets him find out who is actually the speaker. This can be quite helpful as some speeches are fairly long and one can lose the orientation who the actual speaker is. To give an example: The longest speech is made by Elihu and covers seven chapters (Job 32:6-37:24).

For detailed discussions of the content of the book of Job see "Is Suffering Necessary?" This can be found under "The Man-Made Church", chapter 7:

This study aid is simply a list of all the speeches made in the Book of Job indicating the speaker, the scripture reference and the length of the speech.
