Other Examples From Job’s Friends

* * *

Job 8:3, 5-7, 12-13, 20-21 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness? . . . If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty. If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous. Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase. . . . While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed. So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man shall perish . . . Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers. He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.

Job 22:1-2, 21-22, 24-30  . . . Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself. . . . Acquaint yourself with him, now, and be at peace. Thereby good shall come to you. Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart. . . . Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks. The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you. For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God. You shall make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. . . . You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to you. Light shall shine on your ways. When they cast down, you shall say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person. He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”

Job 34:12 Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
