We apply our 3 fold
approach(TOPIC,SUBTOPICS, WORDS)

MAIN SENTENCE: Suffering comes to encourage more Learning
------------------------------------------------------------------
Jb011-02:04 You sound logical & slick

Jb08-10:12 God overlooks non-learning of masses;but real men learn
Jb11-13:20 If you repent and learn more, God will shine on you
------------------------------------------------------------------
On a technical point, the reader can of
course recognize chapter subsections by content.
However the reader can also recognize chapter
subsections by KEYWORDS which introduce these
subsections. The sections of this chapter begin
with the Hebrew Keywords,OOLAM, HAY, IM, IM

Jb011-05:09 Knowledge is infinite;there is so much to learn
