Job 11 — When Arrogant Counsel Misrepresents God
Dave Jenkins | Reading the Bible Daily with Dave | Tuesday, January 13, 2026
Show Summary
In Job 11, Zophar enters the conversation as the harshest of Job’s friends. Confident, self-righteous, and lacking compassion, he assumes Job’s suffering must be the result of hidden sin. Though Zophar speaks truths about God’s wisdom, he misuses them—turning doctrine into condemnation. This chapter warns us that truth without humility wounds the suffering and misrepresents the heart of God.
