RIGHTS
Today's reading: Job 5-6

"Don't I have a right to complain? Wild donkeys bray when they find no green grass, and oxen low when they have no food." Job 6:5 NLT

I've found something very interesting this morning.

Very interesting, indeed.

The words, 'Don't I have a right?' caught my eye.

In a land and in a time when entitlements are expected by young and, let's be honest, old, the very thought of what 'we're truly due' intrigues me. It's a topic of conversation often discussed in our teenager-holding home.

So I dug a little into the Word.

I pulled out my King James Bible, just to see what light it might shed on this verse.

Wasn't I surprised?

"Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?" Job 6:5 KJV

The oldest translation we have of the Scripture doesn't mention a thing about our rights!
