Job 15 outline

Job 15

Outline

These outlines make the most sense when you read them with the passage.

v1-3

I'm not saying this was necessarily the real case with Job, but... You can talk with knowledge (v2) and reasoning (v3), but it can still be vain (v2) and unprofitable (v3).

v4-6

You could condemn yourself with the things you say (v6) instead of somebody else condemning you.

v7-13

It's not necessarily true for people to say something like, "We're older than you, so we're wiser than you."

v14-16

all humans have sinned

v17-29

the wages of sin is (v21) dreadful, with (v20) pain, and (v24) trouble and anguish

v30-35

Wicked people are like plants that (v30) are burned, and (v33) fall apart.

From: Come and Dine

By Charles Wid­mey­er, 1906 and S. H. Bol­ton

Jesus has a table spread
Where the saints of God are fed,
He invites His chosen people, “Come and dine”;
With His manna He doth feed
And supplies our every need:
O ’tis sweet to sup with Jesus all the time!

“Come and dine,” the Master calleth, “Come and dine”;
You may feast at Jesus’ table all the time;
He Who fed the multitude, turned the water into wine,
To the hungry calleth now, “Come and dine.”

how Job felt like his sin wasn't taken away

From: Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It!

By Fanny Crosby, 1882 and William Kirkpatrick

Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child and forever I am.

Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child and forever I am.

like mount Zion

Psalm 125

v1

They that trust in the LORD [shall be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever.

I should trust in the Lord and be upright. No matter what happens, He will take care of us if we trust in Him.

From: Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus

By Hel­en Lem­mel, 1922

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

not overwhelmed

Psalm 124

v6

Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.

We don't have to worry that we'll be overwhelmed, because the Lord is on our side.

pray for mercy

Psalm 123

v2

Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes [wait] upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

Looking to the Lord and waiting for Him makes me think praying. We should pray to the lord for mercy.

From: Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus

By Hel­en Lem­mel, 1922

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

where the tribes go

Psalm 122

v4

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

Going to meetings with the Lord's people is to thank the Lord. We should consider that when we go to the meeting this morning.

From: Now Thank We All Our God

By Martin Rinkart, 1663 and Johann Crüger, 1647

Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts and blessèd peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed;
And free us from all ills, in this world and the next!

All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given;
The Son and Him Who reigns with Them in highest Heaven;
The one eternal God, whom earth and Heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

the Lord's help

Psalm 121

v2

My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

We can pray and ask for the Lord's help with certain things we're going through right now.

From: Blessèd Be the Name

By Wil­liam Clark and Ralph Hud­son

His Name above all names shall stand,
Exalted more and more,
At God the Father’s own right hand,
Where angel hosts adore.

Blessèd be the Name! Blessèd be the Name!
Blessèd be the Name of the Lord!
Blessèd be the Name! Blessèd be the Name!
Blessèd be the Name of the Lord!
