Job 31:1-28
I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman. For what is our lot from God above, our heritage from the Almighty on high? Is it not ruin for the wicked, disaster for those who do wrong? Does he not see my ways and count my every step?
If I have walked with falsehood or my foot has hurried after deceit—
If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
If I have denied justice to any of my servants, whether male or female, when they had a grievance against me,
If I have denied the desires of the poor or let the eyes of the widow grow weary,
If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’
All this has befallen a man who has avoided immorality, even in his thinking(1); who has played fair with his employees(13); been generous in relieving need(16); never become obsessed with money(24) or turned idolater(26-27);
Why?
Job states his case and checks his deed if he has done anything wrong or hurt anyone, he likes to be judged and punished for his sin.
Job believed he did not turn away from the Lord to any idol or gold.
Job is a righteous man in the world. No one likes him except Jesus Christ.

約伯具體的說明他的清白。好像說自己多麼屬靈的法利賽人,好像在彰顯自己的義,其實希望神鑑察光照他,是否還有什麼地方得罪神?
不僅行為正直,連非分之想也沒有。
絕對沒有犯姦淫,特別在情色之事上。
善待僕人,人常常用資歷、身份來強壓人。約伯尊重每個人。
若是行惡,願受責罰。約伯表明無辜,向善受苦依然甘心,討主的喜悅,不是討人的喜悅。
------------------------
How?
Without the mercy of the Lord, no one can live peacefully in the world and stand before the Lord.
