A review of the speeches of Jobs associates shows that they were failed counselors. They failed in several ways: (1) They did not express anything sympathy for Job in their speeches. (2) They did not pray for him. (3) They seemingly ignored Jobs expressions of emotional and physical agony. (4) They talked too much and did not seem to listen adequately to their advisee. (5) They became defensive and argumentative. (6) They belittled rather than encouraged Job. (7) They assumed they knew the cause of Jobs problems. (8) They stubbornly persisted in their view of Jobs problem, even when their ideas contradicted the facts. (9) They suggested an inappropriate solution to his problem. (10) They blamed Job and condemned him for expressing grief and frustration. Counselors today do well to be sure they do not fail in similar ways. -Roy B. Zuck, The Bible Knowledge Commentary, p. 1:748.
