📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

In chapter 3 God tells Job to speak to his friends who promise to bring him food and drink. Job replies that they will bring him meat and drink, but he will eat the bones of his meat. The chapter ends with the friends agreeing to bring him a feast, yet their words reveal their shallow concern.
