Job 21:1-34
Job replies that why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power?...
One dies in his full vigor, being wholly at ease and secure. Another dies in bitterness of soul, never having tasted of prosperity.
Who declares his way to his face, and who repays him for what he had done?
How then will you comfort me with empty nothings? There is nothing left of your answers but falsehood謊言.
Why?
Zophar's theology is all very well, but it flies in the face of experience.The contribution of Job, the good man, is pitiful.
Yet more often than not, evil people flourish, live happily and die peacefully.
The friends will argue that God's vengeance falls on their children. But what kind of justice is that? Their so-called comfort is nothing but a pack of empty lies.
Only God can declare way of a man, only God repay him for what he had done? We can see only part of his life.
How?
Don't comfort others with words and judgement only, but with empathy and love.
