🌿 Job 11

Job 11 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn’t consider it.” Job 11 opens with these words: “Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,” The line to keep is Job 11:3: “Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?” Carry the word “boastings” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Job 11:3: “Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Job 11? Then try this: Read “Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
