Job 20

Summary: Job's third friend, Zophar, speaks again. He rattles on and on about how the wicked, while rich for a short time, quickly find themselves losing everything and coming to a swift end. 

Response: "Yeah but" is a common saying in our house. My kids and I get cases of the yeahbut all the time. I think it's warranted here, though. It is comforting to think of the wicked as having to literally vomit money away, but that's rarely the case these days. And this is definitely not Job's situation. Lord, am I this friend so quick to condemn on Your behalf? Help me to spread Your mercy, not Your judgement.
