DAY 29 (Job 6-9): In the depths of his grief, Job concluded it was better not to be born than to live a troubled life. Job's friend Eliphaz responded by saying that all people are sinners, deserving of punishment, but that by turning to God, Job can experience redemption. However, Job will ignore this advice, accusing his friends of callousness, comparing them to streams which only run in the spring, but in the hot summer when men are thirsty, the streams dry up. Shouldn't friends be more compassionate in the face of tragedy?
