Job, complaining of his friends' cruelty, 6. shows there is misery enough in him to feed their cruelty 21. He craves pity 23. He believes the resurrection Then The word "Then" serves as a temporal marker, indicating a continuation of the dialogue within the narrative. In the context of the Book of Job, this word signifies a pivotal moment in the ongoing discourse between Job and his friends. It suggests a response to the preceding arguments and accusations made by his friends, particularly Bildad in the previous chapter. This word underscores the sequential nature of the dialogue, emphasizing that Job's response is a direct reaction to the criticisms and misunderstandings he has faced. Historically, this moment is set within the ancient Near Eastern context, where dialogues and discourses were a common method of exploring deep philosophical and theological questions. Job answered (1) His severe treatment by God (vers. 6-13); (2) his harsh usage by his relatives and friends (vers. 14-19): and (3) the pain caused him by his disease (ver. 20); and appeals to his friends on these grounds for pity and forbearance (vers. 21, 22). Next, he proceeds to make his great avowal, prefacing it with a wish for its preservation as a perpetual record (vers. 23, 24); the avowal itself follows (vers. 25-27); and the speech terminates with a warning to his "comforters," that if they continue to persecute him, a judgment will fall upon them (vers. 28, 29). Verses 1, 2. - Then Job answered and said, How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? Job is no Stoic. He is not insensible to his friends' attacks. On the contrary, their words sting him, torture him, "break him in pieces," wound his soul in its tenderest part. Bildad's attack had been the cruellest of all, and it drives him to expostulation (vers. 2-5) and entreaty (vers. 21, 22).
