The Friends of Job

"My child, many are confusing you and filling you with doubt:

When you are weak, they say it as a sign of sin;
when you are poor, they say you are cursed;
when you are sick, they say you are in rebellion;
when you are unconvinced, they say it is your pride.

Many who claim to know Me and My ways
have become the same as the friends of Job.
I called them to sympathy and to carry your burdens,
but they have put burdens on top of you instead.

I am not speaking through their condemnation.
Do not be discouraged by their wise-sounding words,
for they know nothing if they have not love;
their wisdom is Jezebel's, not Mine.

I am with you, My child."
