So I read a little further this time as this seems like a repeat from earlier. In ch 11 Zophar basically tells Job you are obviously suffering as a direct result of actions you have taken. In ch 12 Job gets ticked and goes off on Zophar saying seriously---do you think you are better than me? how about we have God take a good look at your life, I bet it doesn't hold up as well as mine so shut it.
Then in Ch 13 Job turns his attention back to God and says do 2 things for me. Stop messing with me and give me a chance to plead my case to you in person. whooaa. the dude is pretty bold--I glanced ahead and see we don't hear directly from God until ch 38. I believe we are going to cycle through a repeated exchange between Job and his friends until this point.
knowing you i bet there is a movie in your mind right now. me being the accountant I just have debits and credits going back and forth between Job and his friends. It makes for a cool spreadsheet though.
