Job 16:14-16 “Corruption”

GuidetohisWord

Parable #7 Job compares his body to a family where corruption is the natural soil and members are no less strange when one considers what they seek after and what is their hope? For this reason Jesus asked, “While he(Jesus) yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him./ Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
