Job 16 — God Sees Every Tear
Reading the Bible Daily with Dave
Host: Dave Jenkins •
Date: Sunday, January 18, 2026
Show Summary
In Job 16, Job responds to the harsh accusations of his friends—whom he calls
“miserable comforters.” Instead of compassion, they offer condemnation, assuming that suffering must always
be the result of sin. Yet in the depths of his anguish, Job clings to a profound hope:
“Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven.” This episode reminds us that when earthly comfort fails,
God’s compassion and advocacy never do—and Job’s longing for a heavenly witness points us to Jesus Christ,
our faithful Advocate.
