Will You Answer God?

2“Who is this who darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
3Now [a]prepare yourself like a man or woman;
I will question you, and you shall answer Me.
4“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.

I wasn't but I know the One who was there. His name is Jesus.

5Who determined its measurements?
Surely you know!
Or who stretched the [b]line upon it?

Not me but I know the One who did?

6To what were its foundations fastened?
Or who laid its cornerstone,
7When the morning stars sang together,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Not me but I know the One who fastened the foundations of the earth and laid its cornerstone.

Job 42

7 After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has. 8 So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.

10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. 11 All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver[a] and a gold ring.

12 The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. 13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. 15 Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.

16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 And so Job died, an old man and full of years.

@Carazaa Oh, I see. So it's okay that God killed all of Job's farm animals and murdered his entire family, because he replaced them. So the lesson here is that humans are replaceable?

@LordShadowfire We are very replaceable, yes. God can take any one of us anytime. That's why it's important to be right with God. If we trust in Jesus our home is in heaven not here on earth.
