Job 29-32

Job 29
Job speaks of his former blessings and we get details about him that we did not know before. He took care of the poor and blind. The community respected him. God's friendship was in his home.

Job 30
Job describes his current state. Even the outcasts of the same community now mock him. He also still seems to believe God that God rejected him and cause all his calamities.

Job 31
Job proclaims his innocence yet again. He talks about how he made a covenant with himself not to look with lust at women (that's interesting as there was nothing about that in the Mosiac code) and how he took care of the poor and his own servants.

Job 32
A new character speaks - Elihu. Elihu is younger than the others so he has patiently waited. But he is angry because Job refuses go admit that he sinned against God. He is also angry at Job's 3 friends because they make God look bad. Elihu has a lot to say and it spans the next couple of chapters.
