If only it were as black and white as Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar claim. There are, no doubt, many examples of wicked men getting what they deserve in this life. But, Job counters, many more where the opposite seems to be the case.
It is interesting that none of them, including Job, give an example of a godly man who is called to bear up under suffering and calamity for reasons beyond his ability to understand.
This is Job’s complaint against God: If Justice is lacking when evil men live out their lives in ease, isn’t it also lacking when godly men suffer and are destroyed?
