Job 13:5 actually made me smile, If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom. Job was downright unhappy with the lack of empathy and understanding by his so-called friends had for him. Job knew he had not anything that deserved the suffering he was experiencing. In Job 13:15 he says, Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face. Deep down inside he knew God was still with him and that he ultimately did not deserve the punishment he was receiving, but he still had hope. This is a lesson for all of us. Always have hope in God through every trial we face for He never leaves us.
