The three friends of Job are listed as Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They really don’t seem all that friendly though. They start well; they come and sit in silence with Job, mourning with him. But then they start to talk. Rather than continue in their mourning they begin to hypothesize why Job is suffering and what he can do to correct the situation. All their theories revolve around how they perceive God, they believe, essentially, that He always blesses the righteous and always curses the wicked. Their condemnation of Job and their disbelief in his cries of innocence only add to his sorrow. Only the reader knows about the conversation in heaven, only we know that Job is suffering because God is testing him. God will prove Satan a liar. Satan believes Job will reject the LORD, but Job will end up being a
demonstration of God’s grace, even in his suffering. In Job 6, we begin to hear Job’s complaints to God for his compounded suffering. Job wonders: What did he do wrong? Why is he facing these terrible things? Does God hate him? Has God abandoned him?
