Job has exhausted all his resources. His attempts to find arbitration have been dismissed. He cannot call upon God, as God has vanished. Additionally, the witnesses are false and would testify against him in court. Job’s lengthy speech continues through chapters 29-31. It starts with a description of his former joyful relationship with God (29), then reflects on his current suffering (30) with a bitter lament, and ends with a plea for his future vindication, along with a firm declaration of innocence supported by a long list of his moral actions (31).
