Job rests his case with these thoughts: God is sovereign in the affairs of men. If He is not for me, he must be against me. If he is not blessing me, I must be under his curse. But here I must complain! I have done nothing wrong! I do not deserve this! “Let God weigh me on the scales of justice, for he knows my integrity.” Let me list for you the good things I have done, and the bad things I have not done. And let the Almighty answer me.
Is the sovereign God on trial? Is He the enemy? Is the One who sees and knows everything aloof? “What [then] is our inheritance from the Almighty on high?”
