Yesterday in Genesis 36 we read of the descendants of Esau.
Translation notes:
2 This is the account of Jacob and his family. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he often tended his father’s
flocks. He worked [with/for] his half brothers, the sons of his father’s wives Bilhah and Zilpah. But Joseph reported to his father some of the bad things his brothers were doing.
6 “Listen to [my/this] dream,” he said. 7 “We were out in the field, tying up bundles of grain. Suddenly my bundle stood up, and your bundles all gathered around and bowed low before mine!”

We turn now to Job 22. In chapter 21, Job gave a very convincing argument that God does not punish wicked people, refuting what Zophar said. Today Elphaz speaks again, and his words sound a lot like prosperity doctrine— which I consider to be misleading and just teaching what people want to hear.
Translation notes:
28 [Then you/You] will succeed in whatever you choose to do,
and light will shine on the road ahead of you.
29 [Then if/If] people are in trouble and you say, ‘Help them,’
God will save them.

Yesterday we read chapter 13 of Mark, which is the prophecy
chapter. The theme of that chapter is “Be ready” and Jesus says, “Keep watching for Me.”
Translation notes:
21For [I,] the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays [me/him]. It would be far better for that
man if he had never been born!”
