STYLE OF WRITING FOR WISDOM LITERATURE Story telling: Job

In the land of Uz there was a blameless and upright man named Job, who feared God and avoided evil. Seven sons and three daughters were born to him; and he had seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses, and a great number of work animals, so that he was greater than any of the men of the East.4His sons used to take turns giving feasts, sending invitations to their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

Wise sayings and Metaphors: Proverbs Ecclesiastes, Sirach, Wisdom

He who walks honestly walks securely, but he whose ways are crooked will fare badly.10He who winks at a fault causes trouble, but he who frankly reproves promotes peace.11A fountain of life is the mouth of the just, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence (Proverbs10:9-11).

Poetry: Song of Songs, Psalms

On my bed at night I sought him whom my heart loves- I sought him but I did not find him.2I will rise then and go about the city; in the streets and crossings I will seek Him whom my heart loves. I sought him but I did not find him. (Song of Songs 3:1-2)

Prayer: Psalms

Cleanse me with hyssop, that I may be pure; wash me, make me whiter than snow.10Let me hear sounds of joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.11Turn away your face from my sins; blot out all my guilt.12A clean heart create for me, God; renew in me a steadfast spirit. (Psalm 51:9-12)

Arising from the book itself The Hebrew text is corrupt and some passages are practically unintelligible This makes it a difficult book to translate Literary problems It is a prose but differs for the prologue and epilogue, which is narrative Meaning of the book It does not seem to answer or deal directly with the questions Job raises Arising from its social and religious background Cultural Tribal Culture Oral tradition Shame culture Religious Comes from Wisdom Teaching The book draws on legal imagery Lamentations The book was written 2,500 years ago The culture is different than our culture The literary style is part narrative and part prose (Hebrew Poetry) Major parts of the prose are called Lamentations The text is part of the Wisdom Books Job is a pious, upright, and wealthy Job suffers a sudden and complete reversal

• f fortune

Job does not curse God His friends try to help by blaming him for having done something wrong so as to deserve this so he must repent of his wrongdoing Job maintains his innocence and cannot understand why his afflicted and so rejects his friends’ explanation Job is allowed to hear an answer from God.

Good will be rewarded and Evil will be punished Book of Job challenges this theory We are shocked when Good suffer and the Evil are rewarded We want to make God as someone predicable We want to know how God will and should act. Act right and God will reward you. Very Logical but not always the experience We want to force God’s hand to act they way want him to act

Theory of Retribution

1. The Prologue (1:1-2:13) – There is a wager in heaven and the just Job is despoiled of everything. Three friends arrive to console him. 2. The Poetic Dialogue (3:1-31.40) – After Job bitterly laments his lot, the three friends rise to God’s defense, They argue back and forth through three cycles of speeches until Job ends with a fervent oath of innocence. 3. The Elihu Speeches (32-:1-37:24) – A brash youth interrupts and manages to say little that is new or helpful. 4. The Yahweh Speeches (38:1-42:6) – Yahweh finally responds in two long speeches and overwhelms Job into silence 5. Epilogue (42:7-17) – Job’s fortunes are restored and they all live happily ever after

The Satan came before the Lord This interview starts just as the first one did Two exceptions 1) God states that Job holds fast even when the Satan incites God against him.
