Job 24:1-25
Why must those who know him look in vain for such days?
There are those who rebel against the light, who do not know its ways or stay in its paths. When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up, kills the poor and needy, and in the night steals forth like a thief. The eye of the adulterer watches for dusk; he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’ and he keeps his face concealed.
As heat and drought snatch away the melted snow, so the grave snatches away those who have sinned.
He may let them rest in a feeling of security, but his eyes are on their way. For a little while they are exalted, and then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain. “If this is not so, who can prove me false and reduce my words to nothing?”
Look what goes on in the world: life is neither fair nor just. God delays judgment, and those who trample the helpless underfoot seem to get away with it.
Why?
There are many suffering, many poor and needy people. But there are evil men living well and doing many sins, despise the poor and widow. But the judgement seems did not come.
God's judgment will come but it seems delayed. Job mentioned is the truth. Actually, no one can answer this question.
All of use will ask the same problem, so many people turn away from the Lord for God is unfair. But who knows God's way? Only the righteousness can see the face of the Lord. Many question have answer when we meet the Lord.
What we can do is look for the Lord and trust in Jesus Christ. For Jesus Christ is our redeemer.

I would be delivered forever from my judge.
Job 23:1-17
Then Job replied:
There the upright can establish their innocence before him, and there I would be delivered forever from my judge.
But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him.
But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside. I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? He does whatever he pleases.
God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me. Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.
Job's thoughts go round and round, always coming back to the same sticking-points. If only he could find God and put his case to him. But God is not to be found, and his ways are inexplicable.
Why?
Job knows God could not be found, but he believes he is innocent before the Lord.
Job honestly follows the commands of the Lord, has kept God's way without turning aside. So Job knew it is the Lord who made him fear and treeified him.
Job's pain is he could not explain to the Lord. But he trusts in one day he will see the Lord and proves he is innocent
---------
v1-7： 約伯重申他的願望。神不會用粗暴的方式來待約伯。他一直相信可以向神說明，證明他的清白。我們常常在不明白中，想要問神為什麼?
v8-17：以利法所說的很安全，很常說，很容易打發人走掉。約伯認為所說的早就在做，在找了。但是找不到神。神的做法讓他捉摸不定。以後還有很多人會和他一樣。他因此會害怕，但是他還是遵行神的道。約伯看不到神，但是知道神可以看到他。約伯不求他的身體，他的兒女回來，他只求神，他只怕看不到神。最在意的不是這些苦難，而是不知道神的心意。我們往往是只要自己過的好就好了，不知道神的道路沒有關係。肉眼看不再神，即使在黑暗中，神仍然看顧著我們。

Sometimes we can not see the future, it looks dark and makes us faint. But God is our fortress, my way, and my savior. Trust in Him. God will give us a new way that we can not expect.

Break out from my mind by completely breaking myself
Job 22:1-30
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: “Can a man be of benefit to God? Can even a wise person benefit him? What pleasure would it give the Almighty if you were righteous? What would he gain if your ways were blameless?
Is not your wickedness great? Are not your sins endless? You gave no water to the weary and you withheld food from the hungry, though you were a powerful man, owning land— an honored man, living on it. And you sent widows away empty-handed and broke the strength of the fatherless.
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: “Can a man be of benefit to God? Can even a wise person benefit him? What pleasure would it give the Almighty if you were righteous? What would he gain if your ways were blameless?
Is not your wickedness great? Are not your sins endless? You gave no water to the weary and you withheld food from the hungry, though you were a powerful man, owning land— an honored man, living on it. And you sent widows away empty-handed and broke the strength of the fatherless.
“Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you. Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart.
He will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
Eliphaz would rather invent sins for Job than allow that his own view might be inadequate. He sticks to the same stubborn line of argument. Job is in the wrong! Jon had thought to hide his sins from God. Let him make peace with God, put away his sin, and all will be well again.
Why?Eliphaz still said Job has sinned against the Lord and described what his sins are.
Can a man be of benefit to God? No, but God has much grace and mercy to man.
Do not say to a man what wrong you were when he is suffering. With sympathy to the troubled and suffering man.
God knows who is right and wrong, but God's way is beyond us, we cannot do something to benefit the Lord.
-------------------
v1-11: 以利法神審判約伯因為他不敬畏神。難道人行事公義，神不喜悅嗎？指控約伯具體的罪。這些罪都是莫須有的罪。，以支持自己的論點。
v12-20: 神在高天，神什麼都不知道！惡人最後一定會被沖去。惡人所得的也是神給的。指出神不是天高皇帝遠
v21-30 : 似乎很正面的話。約伯早就遠離惡了，好像耶穌被釘十架時，人們要耶穌悔改。兩個強盜一起被釘時卻能夠跳脫人一般的想法。人只有跳脫原有的思維，才能看見。即不要用舊瓶裝新酒。跳脫是完成完全破碎自己。從舊我中跳脫出來，成為新造的人。跳脫舊式的思維。The break out is complete by completely breaking ourselves.

Side by side they lie in the dust, and worms cover them both.
Job 21:17-34
Yet how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out? How often does calamity come upon them, the fate God allots in his anger?
For what do they care about the families they leave behind when their allotted months come to an end?
Side by side they lie in the dust, and worms cover them both.
I know full well what you are thinking, the schemes by which you would wrong me.
Have you never questioned those who travel? Have you paid no regard to their accounts— that the wicked are spared from the day of calamity, they are delivered from the day of wrath?
So how can you console me with your nonsense? Nothing is left of your answers but falsehood!”
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.
Why?
Job's friends' answers but falsehood, so it is a criticizer instead of a comforter.
No one knows the end of each person, God is the judger at the end.
From time and all of the men, what we know is very little.
----------------------
受報應為何不在他在世的時候，人死了誰知道後代如何呢?若神是公義，為何不在惡人在世時?
這些我們怎麼能幫神解釋、說話。人享福與受苦沒有通則。這是行為主義作祟。
你們的計謀就是要定我罪。你們怎麼下去問路人，他們不知道嗎？一個人若是有錢人，人們對他都是說好話，誰會去指責他。
1.人很想為神說話，解釋，辯護。愈顯出自己的愚昧，不義的人怎麼能為神辯護?人怎麼能夠在神面前稱義人。人要靠自己義行得好處，享福、躲避災難。
2.有錢人所說的都對，一定是好人，人都來巴結，人喜愛錦上添花，少於雪中送炭。賞賜的是耶和華，收取的也是耶和華。神是施恩典的原則。

Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power?
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。

The heritage appointed for them by God
Job 20:1-29
Then Zophar the Naamathite replied: Surely you know how it has been from of old, ever since mankind was placed on the earth, that the mirth of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.
Though the pride of the godless person reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds, he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
A fire unfanned will consume him and devour what is left in his tent. The heavens will expose his guilt; the earth will rise up against him. A flood will carry off his house, rushing waters on the day of God’s wrath. Such is the fate God allots the wicked, the heritage appointed for them by God.”
Zophar, like Bildad, is upset by Job, and he takes up Bildad's theme: the fate of the wicked. Their prosperity is short-lived, their punishment certain. But this is not the point. They are not hearing Job because his case does not fit their general rule.
We hear no more from Zophar after this: either he has nothing further to add, or a section of the third round of speeches has been lost. It is possible that 27:12-23, which sounds so strange coming from Job, belongs in fact to Zophar.
Why?
Once against like Bildad, Zophar criticized Job for his situation are because he did evil things so his heritage lost and his property gone.
The heritage appointed for them by God. God is the sovereign Lord, everything is under the permission of the Lord. Grace and suffering are coming from the Lord, God's love endures forever, even the testament is good to us to increase our faith to the Lord.
-------------------
頊法惱羞成怒，用人盡皆知的事來指責約伯。說明惡人的惡的結局，以此結局來指責約伯，卻完全無法答覆約伯
v1-11: 如飛去的夢，一下子就是不見了。無論過去如何風光，如何一無所有。
惡人的發達、誇勝是暫時的，義人的受苦難道不是暫時嗎？義人不能受苦嗎？瑣法以偏蓋全。我們也會常常一點想法，看見而擴大，當作普世原則，不這樣做就不討神喜悅，這樣絕對化就是偏見了。
v12;22: 人常常怎麼努力，也沒有好處，無福消受。惡人努力是沒有享受到的。其實就是在講約伯。
v23-29: 為何享受不到，因為這是神的刑罰。想躲避也無處可逃。把約伯的遭遇來說惡人的遭遇。此三人是愚蠢的人說不出新意！第一回說不出約伯的罪，第二回以約伯的苦，指出約伯的罪。當我們自己在當中，卻說不出理由，更會顯出自己的愚昧，無知。我們讀很多聖經，卻常常不知如何解釋時，要承認自己不知道，否則更顯出自己的無名、愚昧。義人的受苦也是暫時的。願主幫助我們在見主面時，我們不明白的就都明白了。

I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
Job 19:1-29
If it is true that I have gone astray, my error remains my concern alone.
If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my humiliation against me, then know that God has wronged me and drawn his net around me.
All my intimate friends detest me; those I love have turned against me. I am nothing but skin and bones; I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.
Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me. Why do you pursue me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?
I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!
You should fear the sword yourselves; for wrath will bring punishment by the sword, and then you will know that there is judgment.
Job's friends have become his tormentors, leveling false accusations and offering no answer to his desperate questions. He is shut in on himself, despairing, utterly alone. He has become an object of loathing to those he loves most. Even pity is denied him.
Yet in his darkest moments, faith and hope still well up inside him. He is certain of vindication. One day God himself will take up his case and clear him - and he will be there to see it. Then those who have maligned him will find themselves answerable to God.
Why?
Job faced his friends attacking and his suffering was so worse, even his wife, relatives far away from him.
If Job has any error, these sins remain are on himself. It is Job's concern.
Job has no friend on the world, but Job has faith that he will see the Lord and may stand before the Lord.
Job warned his friend, wrath from will bring punishment by the sword, this wrath is from the Lord.
Job believed judgment is existing.
------------------
v1-7 約伯斥責他的朋友羞辱他，壓迫他。果真有錯錯在我，這也是我的事，這是我與神的事。
v7-12：認為神攻擊他，他還能如何，神有計劃的攻擊他
v13-22：他的家人，妻子，都離開他，人都辱罵他。只有耶穌和約伯一樣承受如此的污辱與痛苦。
v23-27：約伯對神仍然存著盼望。以後有機會會平反。約伯在絕望中，相信神必站立 地上審判萬民。看見神是何等親密，不是很陌生。約伯本來求死，16 章起，及現在又開始有盼望
把專注放在永恆，不是放在今生。以後神的公義會上彰顯出來。歡喜的相信。把盼望放在未來裏的盼望，不是無奈的想法，而是歡喜快樂的迎接。我們不知約伯對永生了解多少，卻在此神讓他閃出亮光，有如此有力的盼望。我們再苦也沒有約伯苦，讓我們將這樣的盼望及盼望所產生的力量賞賜給我們。
