Psalm 18: 16-24

In Job 25-29, Job's friend Bildad speaks briefly, suggesting that no one can be righteous before God, which prompts Job to respond with a lengthy discourse on his righteousness and his longing for the days when he was respected and blessed. Job laments his current misery and insists on his innocence, expressing frustration over the lack of justice and longing for a confrontation with God to argue his case. He continues to proclaim his integrity and wisdom, which he says comes from the fear of the Lord and shunning evil. Will Job's unwavering faith and quest for justice be rewarded, or will he continue to suffer in his quest for understanding?

In Matthew 21, Jesus tells the Parable of the Tenants, where a landowner plants a vineyard and leases it to tenants. When the time comes to collect his fruit, the tenants beat, kill, and stone the servants sent by the landowner, and eventually kill the landowner's son, thinking they would inherit the vineyard. Jesus concludes by indicating that the kingdom of God will be taken from those who reject Him and given to those producing its fruits, a direct warning to the religious leaders challenging Him. Will the tenants' defiance lead to their downfall, and how will this parable's grim warning impact those who hear it?
