October 18, 2012 – Job 30

Here is another chapter of Job in wow.  It does appear that he has given up.  He feels God has left him.  “I cry to you, but you do not answer me”.  The one image that struck me is “the collar of my tunic fits around my waist”.  This is a vision of someone that has lost an incredible amount of weight.  You can picture how Job started.  Very wealthy and probably plump.  Not needing a lot of exercise.  Now, all is taken and he is sickly and his skin is deceased.  He is just a shell of a man whose waist is as round as his neck used to be.
