The ancient words that Job spoke are timeless, universal. God is Almighty. In an unseen yet often demonstrable way, He rules over the affairs of men, be they peasants, popes or potentates.
And yet His ways are mysterious; they cannot be reduced to simple formulas.
It is to this almighty, mysterious God that Job renews his personal vows. “As long as I live, while I have breath from God, my tongue will speak no evil, and my lips will speak no lies.” Personal vows to a personal God. How strange, how wonderful.
