Job’s words are troubling.
The wicked oppress the poor and are very cruel. Their actions do not go unnoticed, for “God is always watching [them]”. His judgment, though often deferred, is sure.
The poor cry out for help, but there is no justice for them. God ignores their moanings.
How can this be? Is God only concerned with punishing the wicked? Does he not care for those who suffer at their hands? Is God not also a God of mercy?
