After Job cried out in lament, his friends start to respond with comfort. But their comfort they say only makes Job feel more and more isolated in his grief. His friend Eliphaz responds to Job’s lament with the beginning of the “miserable comfort” that Job will get for the next twenty chapters. In this talk, we step-by-step through this first speech, and look at all the things that would’ve only made Job feel more and more isolated in his pain, and what we should make sure we never say to people who are hurting.
