Job Ep. 23: Loyalty in the Middle of Suffering

In Job 6:14–30, Job turns directly to his friends and explains what they’ve missed. He doesn’t ask for rescue or answers—he asks for kindness. Comparing them to seasonal streams that promise water but leave travelers stranded, Job challenges the way his suffering has been interpreted. His words aren’t rebellion or deceit; they’re the language of grief. What he wants most isn’t explanation, but loyalty and mercy.
