For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes foods. Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong. He repays a man for what he has done; he brings upon him what his conduct deserves.
But if he remains silent, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, who can see him? Yet he is over man and nation alike, to keep a godless man from ruling, from laying snares for the people.
Should God then reward you on your terms, when you refuse to repent? You must decide, not I; so tell me what you know. (v33)
"Must God tailor his justice to your demands? But you have rejected him! The choice is yours, not mine. Go ahead, share your wisdom with us (New Living Translation)
Job has said God is in the wrong, and there is nothing to be gained by making him our delight. But God is the judge of all people: supreme, just, impartial. Job has added to his other sins resentment and rebellion against God.
Why?
We have to decide which way I have to walk, is right or wrong way? Do the right is not for the reward from the Lord but our responsibility to be a human being.
God Almighty over all men and nations, who can condemn him or see him? No one.
How?
Praise the name of the Lord. He is worthy to praise and his name should be exalted.
