Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and will not fear. You will lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will court your favor.
Zophar builds quite a case based on the assumption that all this is the result of Job's sin. But this is inconsistent with Job 1:8 where the LORD declares Job to be blameless and upright, none like him in all the earth.
But Job presents a beautiful picture of faith in the face of tribulation. Yes, he does cry out with a "Why me, LORD?" but he does not curse God and die as his wife proposed. Should I be looking at this book to teach me how to live and honor the LORD, God, the Almighty at all times and under all circumstances?
