“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” — John 5:39
“But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.” (Job 13:4) — that was Job’s own verdict on the comfort of his three friends, and in this exercise the judgment seat is yours. Two trainings in one game. WHO SAID IT? — name the speaker of a line from the dialogues: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite, Job, Elihu, or God Himself. TRUE WORD OR FALSE COMFORT? — weigh a friend’s sentence: sound doctrine, or the error God rebuked when He said, “ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right” (Job 42:7)? Every line the true King James text, from the book of Job alone.
The book of Job at its gentlest: the famous lines to name, and the friends’ clearest words to judge. Every speaker button carries the friend’s name AND his home — Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite — so the men themselves are learned as the lines are learned.

Who Said It? ›The cliff. Obscure lines, Eliphaz’s night vision, Job throwing the friends’ own doctrine back at them, Leviathan — and, hidden among true words, the bargains God never signed.
