Job 12
This begins the second cycle of speeches; Job berates his friends for their lack of support and harsh words - what do they know anyway???; Job then goes on and on about God’s judgement and taking away things - knowledge, power, faith, etc. - from all.

Acts 11
Begins with the escape from the persecution as a result of Stephen; and in Antioch a great many came to the Lord; Barnabas went to get Paul and do more of the good work and this is when the movement participants became known as “Christians”. The first churchwide fundraising drive was organized for the benefit of the saints in Jerusalem during this persecution. Barnabas and Paul were the campaign chairpersons.
