Job’s lists of what he has done and not done are worthy of emulation.Summary in 100 Words or Less
Job gives his final argument, “Oh, for the good-ole days when God took care of my family. I did everyone right. I wanted to die of old age, tired from my never-ending good works.“But now I am worse than the village villain. Everyone despises me. I have no life in me. I shout for help but no one hears me.
“I do not deserve this mistreatment! I am willing to pay for my evil. But no one will present the case against me! Even the ground I work has nothing to charge me with. Let me know my charges!"
