You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, is the earth to be abandoned for your sake?

 Job 18:01-21 

Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

“When will you end these speeches?  Be sensible, and then we can talk. Why are we regarded as cattle and considered stupid in your sight? You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger,  is the earth to be abandoned for your sake?  Or must the rocks be moved from their place?

The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning.

Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling. His roots dry up below and his branches wither above. The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land. He is driven from light into the realm of darkness and is banished from the world. He has no offspring or descendants among his people, no survivor where once he lived. People of the west are appalled at his fate; those of the east are seized with horror. Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of one who does not know God.”

Why?

Bildad replied according to the history or common rules in this world it is acceptable to most people, But it is not the rule of the Lord. God still gives chance to the evildoers the opportunity to repent and survive.

Who can image the path and mind of the Lord? No one can make it.

How?

Every misery or trouble is good to every son of the Lord.
