Psalm: 119:73-96

Meditation

Job: As we close our look at Job, this is Job’s repentant reply to the LORD and His probing questions. “Therefore, I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.” (v. 6) Job found acceptance in what the LORD had allowed to happen to him. Next the LORD turns His attention to Job’s friends and tells them to approach Job as a mediator for them before God. Job is to offer the sacrifices requited of Job’s friends much the way Moses would intercede for Israel centuries later.
