🏔️ Job 32
Job 32 opens with these words: “So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.” The line to keep is Job 32:3: “Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.” Carry the word “wrath” from that verse into the rest of the day.
