9. Job’s Initial Response to Zophar

Job 12:1-2 "And Job answered and said, No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you."

This sermon from American Pastor J.D. Montieth highlights the most foundational and important lessons in life from the oldest book in the Bible, the Book of Job. This sermon, the ninth in the series on the Book of Job, Job’s Initial Response to Zophar, illuminates the topic of God's Sovereignty: "Job said in sarcasm what his three friends believed to be true—that their wisdom was rare and that wisdom would die with them. Job thus rebukes his  friends, who had far higher opinions of themselves than was merited by the superficial wisdom they brought forth. They all had spoken at great length, but they did not help Job at all. It is also common with both the heathen and the hypocrite, that they foolishly think that the more they speak the greater chance they will be heard by the Lord. (Matt. 6:7) But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. An abundance of words, though, does not cause the Lord to answer prayer, nor can it help to convince the guilty of sin.
