2. “Then said his wife
unto him, Do you still
retain your integrity?
curse God, and die.”
Job 2:9
3. LAND OF UZ
•Job and his household lived in
the land of Uz.
•Uz is not a part of Israel but it
belongs to the descendants of
Esau.
4. THE BAD WOMAN
•I can still remember back in my
elementary days, how my grade 1
teacher portrayed Mrs. Job as a bad
woman.
•Henceforth, I have not seen any
good thing on Mrs. Job.
5. THE BAD WOMAN
•Still whenever Job’s life is preached,
Mrs. Job is portrayed as the villain.
•That she is a woman who was not
sympathetic to the plight of her
husband.
6. THE BAD WOMAN
•That she was the thorn on the
flesh of Job.
•That she was the one who tried
to temper down the faith of her
husband.
7. THE BAD WOMAN
•“Then said his wife unto him, Do you still
retain yours integrity? curse God, and
die” Job 1:9
•Because of this statement, all good
things that Mrs. Job had done to her
family was forgotten but making her a
bad woman.
9. SHE MUST BE A GOOD MOTHER
•“And there were born unto
him seven sons and three
daughters.” Job 1:2.
•Do you think it is easy to be
the mother of 10 children?
10. SHE MUST BE A GOOD MOTHER
•Those days bottle-fed was not
known all is breast feed.
•While she has many servants
being rich, yet mom’s care
cannot be supplanted.
11. SHE MUST BE A GOOD MOTHER
•Feeding the child in the wee
hours of the night is personally
done by a mother.
•She doesn’t complain of child-
bearing for ten times.
12. SHE MUST BE A GOOD MOTHER
•Before the tragedy.
•“And there were born
unto him seven sons and
three daughters” Job 1:2.
13. SHE MUST BE A GOOD MOTHER
•After the tragedy.
•“And there were born unto
him seven sons and three
daughters.” Job 42:13
14. MOTHER OF TWENTY
•Ten children before the tragedy and
another ten children after the
tragedy will really convince you that
she was a good mother.
•Is there anybody up there who gave
birth to 20 children?
15. MOTHER OF TWENTY
•You didn’t hear her complained
of giving twenty births.
•Yes, she has all the helps being
rich but the pain of labor cannot
be supplanted by helpers?
16. MOTHER OF TWENTY
•Try to imagine that there was no
aircon hospital to accommodate her.
•Think of the crude hygiene and
sanitation done by the local midwife
or hilot?
17. SHE MUST BE A GOOD WIFE
•“There was a man in the land of
Uz, whose name was Job. That
man was blameless and upright,
and one who feared God, and
turned away from evil” Job 1:1
18. SHE MUST BE A GOOD WIFE
•I believe that when Job was known
to be upright and blameless there is
a big participation of his wife.
•Job’s good reputation must be a
corporate endeavor.
19. SHE MUST BE A GOOD WIFE
•It is hard to be a good
husband with a bad wife!**
•Job’s good reputation must
be a corporate endeavor.
20. SHE MUST BE A GOOD WIFE
•“His possessions also were 7,000
sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of
oxen, 500 female donkeys, and a
very many servants; so that this man
was the greatest of all the children of
the east.” Job 1:3
21. SHE MUST BE A GOOD WIFE
•Do you think the wealth and riches
that Job acquired was by him doing
alone?
•Wife of rich couple, do you have
riches because of the lone endeavor
of your husband?
22. JUST BEHIND THE SCENE
•Mrs. Job, just like any women in
the Bible is just behind the scene.
•You will notice that she was not
mentioned by name but just “the
wife of Job”.
23. JUST BEHIND THE SCENE
•Even significant women in the Bible
is just mentioned; wife of Shem,
Ham, Japhet. Wife of Lot .
•New Testament just mentioned wife
of Zebedee, woman at Jacob’s well.
24. JUST BEHIND THE SCENE
•It is for us now to give due
recognition to our wives who
worked hard side by side with us.
•Some husbands are not considering
the household chores and child care
are tiresome works.
25. JUST BEHIND THE SCENE
•Mrs. Job was with the husband
from poverty to prosperity.
•Their wealth was not given to
them in a sliver platter but with
much of toil and perseverance.
27. WHY SHE GAVE THAT NASTY ADVICE?
•“Curse your God…” and Bible
students did not forget her as a
villain in Job’s life.
•There must be precipitating factors
why she had said this that the world
cannot forgive her.
28. WHY SHE GAVE THAT NASTY ADVICE?
•When material wealth was
devastated she did not open her
mouth to complain.
•When the ten grown up children
died she only grieved but no
complain at all.
29. WHY SHE GAVE THAT NASTY ADVICE?
•It is natural to grieve upon the death of
our love one.
•But to dig ten holes for the ten coffins of
her children was unbearable.
•This is what Bible readers have not seen
the heart of a mother.
30. BUT WHEN MR. JOB GOT SICK
•Now, it is Mr. Job who is suffering from
indescribable maladies; boils from foot
up to the crown of his head.
•Maggots are eating his flesh and Job
even put back those that are on the
ground that he doesn’t like them to die.
31. “So Satan went forth from
the presence of the LORD,
and smote Job with sore
boils from the sole of his
foot to his crown.” Job 2:7
32. “And he took him a
potsherd to scrape
himself with [it]; and
he sat down among the
ashes.” Job 2:8
33. MRS. JOB DID NOT KNOW!
•All of them including Mrs. Job did not
know why this tragic events in their life.
•This is the result of the confrontation of
Satan and God in heaven where the
former claimed to be the master of the
earth.
34. CONFRONTATION UP THERE
“Now there was a day when the
sons of God came to present
themselves before the LORD, and
Satan came also among them.”
Job 1:6
35. SATAN’S CLAIM
“And the LORD said to Satan, Whence
comest thou? Then Satan answered
the LORD, and said, From going to
and fro on the earth, and from
walking up and down upon it.”
Job 1:7
36. SATAN’S CLAIM
•Between the lines you can see that
Satan is claiming as the master of the
earth.
•From going to and fro on the earth,
and from walking up and down upon
it.” Job 1:7
37. SATAN’S CLAIM
•Between the lines you can see that
Satan is accusing God that He is
bribing man in order to serve Him.
•That Job is serving God because he
was given tremendous wealth.
38. SATAN’S CLAIM
•Satan was saying that Job is
serving God not for nothing.
•“Remove his wealth and he
will curse you.”
39. GOD WAS PROVING
•God allows Satan to remove
material blessings to prove that
Job was not bribed.
•But Mrs. Job has no knowledge
all about this confrontation.
40. THUS THE ORDEAL OF JOB
•Properties were taken, children
perished yet Job remain’s loyal to
God.
•Now, Job is the victim of miseries
caused by Satan. This is where Mrs.
Job reacted.
41. MRS. JOB WAS A LOYAL WIFE
•She did not abandon Mr. Job in spite
of what happened. She stick with
him.
•As a good wife she cannot endure
seeing her husband agonizing day
and night.
42. MRS. JOB EXASPERATION
•She must have prayed to spare her
husband but it seemed God is
nowhere.
•As if Mrs. Job was saying: “You can
take everything saved my husband
whom I love him so much”.
43. TOO MUCH TO MRS. JOB
•Mrs. Job held her peace when wealth
disappeared in a twinkling of an eye.
•She just bit her tongue when her ten
children were buried in a single day.
•But now, her beloved husband is
suffering beyond description!
44. TOO MUCH TO MRS. JOB
•Seeing her husband with boils from
foot to the crown of his head.
•Both of them stayed on the
dumpsite of garbage watching Mr.
Job eaten alive by maggots.
45. TOO MUCH TO MRS. JOB
•It is logical for us to say that
swarm of flies were hovering
upon Job. Why?
•Because maggots are the egg-
pupa of flies.
46. TOO MUCH TO MRS. JOB
•When Mrs. Job saw her husband picking
up the maggots jumping away from his
body and put it back to his flesh so it
might not die…
•Then she made a frustrating statement
that the world cannot forgive & forget
her.
47. “Then said his wife
unto him, Do you still
retain yours integrity?
curse God, and die.”
Job 2:9
48. THE WORLD WON’T FORGIVE HER
•All of her goodness was shattered and
she became a villain because of her
dubiety.
•Mind you she is a good woman, the fact
Job offered sin offering in behalf of the
ten children but none for Mrs. Job. Job
1:5.
49. •No one sees your pains
•No one sees your sadness
•No one sees your tears
•No one sees your struggles
•No one sees your goodness
•But they all sees your mistakes
51. OTHER’S DOUBT
•Jonah was angry for the withering gourd
for his shade and why God did not
punish Ninevites and asked God for his
death.
•“Therefore now, O LORD, take, I plead to
you, my life from me; for it is better for
me to die than to live.” Jonah 4:3
52. OTHER’S DOUBT
•John the Baptist suffered
dubieties too when he was in
prison awaiting for his death:
•He doubted the Messiahship
of Jesus.
53. Matthew 11:2,3 – “Now when
John had heard in the prison
the works of Christ, he sent
two of his disciples, And said
unto him, Are you he that
should come, or do we look for
another?”
54. DOUBT OF OTHERS
•We are considerate for the dubieties
of Jonah and John the Baptist and
made them Bible heroes.
•Jonah grieved for the withering
gourd and enraged why Ninevites
were not burned to death.
55. DOUBT OF OTHERS
•We are considerate for the dubieties of
Jonah and John the Baptist and made
them Bible heroes.
•John the Baptist with all the
opportunities he had witnessed Jesus fell
into trap of dubiety when Jesus did not
save him from prison.
56. DOUBT OF OTHERS
“But here is Mrs. Job out of her being
loyal and loving wife who cannot
endure seeing her husband in a
desperate situation express her
dubieties and yet we cannot forgive
her?”
57. HUSBANDS CARE FOR YOUR WIVES
•In times of the husband’s crisis, the
wife is there to encourage and
support you.
•Wives are ready to die for the
husbands but are the husbands
willing to die for their wives?
58. HUSBANDS CARE FOR YOUR WIVES
•Husbands recognize the contribution
of your wives who are helping for
your success.
•Do not forget, no husband can have
good achievement without the wife.
59. MRS. JOB
•Mrs. Job is an epitome of a wife who
stick with the husband through thick and
thin, in prosperity and adversities, in
sickness and in good health…
•She is the wife who is willing to support,
defend even to the claws of death.***
60. HELP ME REPAINT
THE IMAGE OF MRS. JOB
•She is a good mother of 20
children.
•She is a faithful and loyal wife.
