TSK · Job 30:8

He followed in the footsteps of the kings of Israel, just as Ahab’s dynasty had done, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did evil in the sight of the LORD.

He followed in the footsteps of Ahab’s dynasty, for his mother gave him evil advice.

He despises a reprobate, but honors the LORD’s loyal followers. He makes firm commitments and does not renege on his promise.

Introduction to the Theme of the Book Fearing the LORD is the beginning of discernment, but fools have despised wisdom and moral instruction.

Insight is like a life-giving fountain to the one who possesses it, but folly leads to the discipline of fools.

Children are gathering firewood, fathers are building fires with it, and women are mixing dough to bake cakes to offer to the goddess they call the Queen of Heaven. They are also pouring out drink offerings to other gods. They seem to do all this just to trouble me.
