Job 17 - 20

Job pleads for relief, yet does not seem able to acquire it.  Even death does not seem to hold out any promise for ease of suffering in his opinion.  Bildad asks when Job will stop insulting them and start listening to them.  He states that the foolish and wicked person are always pursued by evil and often ensnared by it.  Job's actions, in Bildad's opinion, are those of one who does not know God.  Job again states his belief in God, even though the circumstances he faces seem to fly in the face of that belief.  His trust will not be shaken.  Zophar delivers a speech about how God treats the wicked, as a warning to Job.
