The Book of Job in Color
Read Job color-coded by speaker, with a companion PDF offering ten principles for understanding the book’s poetry and speeches.
I created this color-coded presentation of Job to help me remember who is speaking as I read. Different colors distinguish the narrator and the principal speakers throughout the text.
Because speeches can extend across several chapters, the colors help readers follow the changes in speaker and see the book’s overall structure. The PDF includes the biblical text, a speaker color key, and introductory observations. It uses the New International Version (NIV).
Ten Principles for Understanding the Book of Job
This one-page companion offers my observations for reading Job’s poetry and speeches. It considers the speakers’ differing perspectives and the importance of reading their statements in context. Use it alongside the color-coded text as you read and study Job. Adapted from The Book of Job in Color introduction and updated in 2026 for increased readability.
