worm in Job 7
WURM
This creature shows up in Job 7:5: “My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Job 7:5
“My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.”
What kids can learn
When you hear worm in Job, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Job 7:5 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
