# Job 16 General Notes # #### Structure and formatting #### The ULB indents the lines of this chapter because it is a poem. This chapter is Job's response to Eliphaz. #### Special concepts in this chapter #### ##### Job's response ##### Job expresses shock and disgust at the advice Eliphaz gives to him. He even mocks Eliphaz. He describes the difficulties of his circumstances but never curses Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/curse]]) ##### Advocate ##### Job describes the need for someone to intercede for him in heaven. This person would be his advocate and provide a witness for him. Although this is probably not intended as a prophecy, it closely parallels the way Jesus intercedes for people in heaven. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/intercede]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/heaven]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/witness]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet]]) ## Links: ## * __[Job 16:01 Notes](./01.md)__ __[<<](../15/intro.md) | [>>](../17/intro.md)__
