Job 21:1-16
Then Job replied: Bear with me while I speak, and after I have spoken, mock on.
When I think about this, I am terrified; trembling seizes my body.
Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power? Their homes are safe and free from fear; the rod of God is not on them. Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we gain by praying to him?’
16 But their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.
Zophar's theology is all very well, but it flies in the face of experience. The condition of Job, the good man is pitiful. Yet more often than not, evil people flourish, live happily and die peacefully.
Why?
Zophar's said the experience in the world, but wicked men are living well, they were safe and rich. They don't know the Lord, and the rod of the Lord is not on them. So Jon wonders what Zophar said. It is not the truth.
Job's questions are not be answered and the trembling seized his body.

約伯反駁瑣法及以利法的論調。
惡人沒有受到懲罰且長壽,反擊三個朋友的論點。事實上並非都如此。
他們亨通,不在乎自己的手,能力,權柄。神在他們亨通的事上有份。約伯仍然敬畏神,所以惡人所做的他不跟從。瑣法只看到一部份人,約伯只看到一部份時間。我們常聽到一些令人扼惋事。我們好像在夢中一樣,現在所看到的都是暫時的。
我們若是把眼光放在永恆,我們就不在乎現在的苦楚,如打針一樣暫時的苦楚。讓我們以永恆的眼光來看,我們是有盼望,有平安的。

How?
Jesus is the answer, who bore our sins and fear, so we may stand before the Lord and have peace and love from the Lord.
