show more- The passage comes from the book of Job, chapter 42 verse 7. It records God's rebuke of Job's friends Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar for speaking wrongly about God, in contrast to Job who spoke rightly.
- God was angry with Job's friends for misrepresenting Him and His character throughout their dialogues with Job. They claimed certain bad things were happening because of Job's sin, which was not an accurate reflection of God's sovereignty and justice.
- We must be careful to interpret scripture in context, not proof-text or take verses out of context. Eliphaz had previously pulled verses out incorrectly to accuse Job.
- Preachers today should not take verses out of context to promote certain agendas or theologies, like the misleading "declare and decree" method some preach.
- To rightly interpret scripture, we need to consider context, audience, authorship, genre, and the covenant focus of each passage. We read the Old Testament through the lens of the new covenant in Christ.
- Teachers are held to a higher standard and will be judged more strictly. When teaching the Bible, we must do so with sincerity, speaking in the sight of God.
- The passage serves as a warning to speak truthfully about God's character. We should interpret scripture carefully and contextually to avoid false doctrine.
