Job 40

About Job Job wrestles with why the righteous suffer, through Job's losses, his friends' arguments and God's answer.

Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,SelectedJob 40:1Ask

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.SelectedJob 40:2Ask
