Job 2 and 3, Job’s lament chiastic structure
Additional studies: Job Index
For the series of speeches from Job 3:2-28:10, the Hebrew paragraph divisions for each man’s speech are like the divisions in the Psalms. There is an understood {s} division at the end of each numbered line, with an {n} marking where a new line begins within a numbered line. There are only two {n} divisions in Job’s speech from Job 3:2-26, and both are marked with in the chiastic structure.
Psalm 7, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Psalms Book One (1-41) Index
God executes judgment not because He delights in punishment or in lording it over others, but to bring the wickedness of the wicked to an end. He is angry with the wicked because wickedness hurts people, and usually it is the righteous who become victims at the hands of the wicked. The righteous do not spend their time or energy conceiving trouble for others or digging pits to cause others to fall. It is not the wicked who become victims at the hands of the righteous. It is on behalf of innocent victims that God acts with just judgments against the wicked.
Matthew 5, Declared by the Law and the Prophets
Additional studies: Matthew Index
The Law prophesied of the coming, circumstances, and ministry of Messiah (Yeshua said, “Moses wrote about Me,” Joh 5:46). Likewise the Prophets; so when Yeshua said, “I came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets,” He is saying, “I am He whom the Law and the Prophets declare!” His teaching here at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount lays to rest forever the false claim that God approves of commandment-breaking. Yeshua taught, Do not merely obey the Law outwardly as the scribes and Pharisees, but obey it from the heart–then your obedience will look like Mat 5:20-48.
