IYOV

The Book of Iyov (Job) in the Hebrew Bible.

Right at the heart of the age-old question: Why do bad people prosper while good people suffer?

This is a clear test of one’s worth to be blessed by G-d.

The book begs the question WHY?

Job On Righteousness Yielding Salvation

In plain words it is clearly mentioned in this chapter, that righteousness and/or repentance redeems one from death/grave.

No Jesus. No Trinity. No Triune or 3-in-1 G-d saves.

Think. Read. Listen. Study. Learn. Live…

“Pain And Suffering”

The spirit of God has made me, and a soul from the Almighty gives me life.
33:4
… for God is greater than man.
:12
Why do you complain against Him that He does not answer all of [man’s] statements?
:13
His being finds food loathsome, and his soul [rejects] enticing foods.
:20
If there will be for someone but a single defending angel out of a thousand to declare a man’s uprightness on his behalf, then [God] will be gracious to him and say, ‘Redeem him from going down to the grave. I have found [him] atonement.’
:23-24
He entreats God, and He accepts him; he appears before Him in prayer, and He recompenses man for his righteousness.
:26
He then goes around to people and says, ‘I have sinned; I have made crooked that which was straight; but to no avail.’
:27
For [God] absolved him from passing into the grave; so that his being might see light.
:28
to bring back his soul from the grave, to bask in the light of the living.
:30

1 But listen to my words, Job, I pray you, and hearken to all my speech.
2 Behold now I have opened my mouth; my tongue has spoken with my palate.
3 My words are [with] the uprightness of my heart, and with knowledge my lips speak clear [words].
4 The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty keeps me alive.
5 If you can, answer me; set up before me and stand.
6 Behold I am like your mouth to God; I was also formed out of clay.
7 Behold my awe will not terrify you, and my coercion will not weigh heavily upon you.
8 You spoke but in my hearing, and the voice of [your] words I have heard.
9 ‘I am innocent without transgression; I am clean, and I have no iniquity.
10 Behold He finds pretenses against me; He considers me His enemy.
11 He puts my feet into the stocks; He watches all my ways.’
12 Behold this. ‘You are not right,’ I will answer you, for God exceeds man.
13 Why do you contend with Him because He does not answer any of his matters?
14 For God answers in one way and in two, to one who does not see it.
15 In a dream, a vision of the night, when sound sleep falls upon men, in the slumbers on the bed.
16 Then He opens the ear of men, and with their chastisement He seals [them].
17 To restrain man from a deed; and He covers haughtiness from man.
18 He withholds his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 And he is chastised with pain on his bed, and most of his bones, [since he is] strong.
20 And his living spirit causes him to abhor food, and his soul choice morsels.
21 His flesh is consumed from sight, and his bones are dislocated to unsightliness.
22 And his soul approaches the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there is an angel over him, an intercessor, one out of a thousand, to declare for a man his uprightness,
24 He is gracious to him, and He says, ‘Redeem him from descending to the pit. I have found ransom.’
25 His flesh is more tender than in childhood; he will be restored to the days of his youth.
26 He entreats God and placates Him, and he sees His countenance in prayer, and He requites man [according to] his righteousness.
27 He makes a row of men and says, ‘I sinned, and I perverted what was straight, but I did not profit.’
28 He redeemed his soul from perishing in the pit, and his living spirit shall see the light.
29 Behold God does all these, twice or thrice with man.
30 To bring back his soul from the pit to be enlightened with the light of life.
31 Mark well, Job; listen to me. Be still and I will speak.
32 If you have words, answer me; speak, because I wish to justify you.
33 If not, you listen to me; be silent and I will teach you wisdom.’ “

Divine wisdom or Divine justice may not be evident during the test with hardship and suffering. But, full trust in G-d is the best response no matter how difficult the situation may be or become.
