Through the Bible with Poetry: Job
Jon’s thoughts: I have always loved Job’s boldness before the Lord to speak freely and listen to God’s reply. In the end God says of Job that he has “spoken right.”
Job 42:7
You Have Spoken Right
Come before the Lord and speak.
Do not fear.
He will offer you the comfort that you seek.
Make your case and plead.
For you, for you, Christ did suffer and bleed.
Be warned, yes be warned, this well is deep.
Behemoth and Leviathan,
In these waters do they live and sleep.
He will offer you the comfort that you seek.
The Lord Replied “You have spoken right.”
Job answered the Lord: “Hear, and I will speak.”
