Job answered, "You are talking nonsense! When God sends us something good, we welcome it. How can we complain when he sends us trouble?" Even in all this suffering Job said nothing against God.

Make sure that your endurance carries you all the way without failing, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Happy are those who remain faithful under trials, because when they succeed in passing such a test, they will receive as their reward the life which God has promised to those who love him.

Their purpose is to prove that your faith is genuine. Even gold, which can be destroyed, is tested by fire; and so your faith, which is much more precious than gold, must also be tested, so that it may endure. Then you will receive praise and glory and honor on the Day when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Listen to me, you men who understand! Will Almighty God do what is wrong?

God condemns kings and rulers when they are worthless or wicked.

He does not take the side of rulers nor favor the rich over the poor, for he created everyone.

(SEE 40:3)

Then out of the storm the LORD spoke to Job once again.

Are you trying to prove that I am unjust--- to put me in the wrong and yourself in the right?

But who are you, my friend, to talk back to God? A clay pot does not ask the man who made it, "Why did you make me like this?"
