ANSWER ME


There was once a man who questioned God and doubted his existence, he also felt that God was wrong about a lot of things that happened in his life and does not think that God understands or knows what is now. For he believed he had suffered more than even God could understand:

WHO IS THIS WHO DARKENS COUNSEL BY WORDS WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE? NOW PREPARE YOURSELF LIKE A MAN, I WILL QUESTION YOU AND YOU WILL ANSWER ME!
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I LAID THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH? TELL ME IF YOU HAVE UNDERSTANDING. WHO DETERMINED ITS MEASUREMENTS? SURELY YOU KNOW! OR WHO STRETCHED THE LINE UPON IT? OR WHO SHUT IN THE SEA WITH DOORS, WHEN IT BURST FORTH AND ISSUED FROM THE WOMB, WHEN I MADE THE CLOUDS ITS GARMENT, AND THICK DARKNESS ITS SWADDLING BAND, WHEN I FIXED A LIMIT FOR IT AND SET BARS AND DOORS, WHEN I SAID “THIS FAR YOU MAY COME, BUT NO FARTHER AND HERE YOUR PROUD WAVES MUST STOP”
I HANG THE EARTH ON NOTHING! KNOW THAT WHATEVER I DO SHALL BE FOREVER, NOTHING CAN BE ADDED AND NOTHING TAKEN FROM IT; FOR WHO KNOWS WHAT IS GOOD FOR A MAN IN HIS LIFE, ALL THE DAYS OF HIS VAIN LIFE? WHO CAN TELL A MAN WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER HIM UNDER THE SUN? CONSIDER MY WORKS, WHO CAN MAKE STRAIGHT WHAT I HAVE MADE CROOKED?
WHO HAS PRECEDED ME THAT I SHOULD REPAY HIM? EVERYTHING UNDER HEAVEN IS MINE! AS YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW BONES GROW IN THE WOMB OF HER WHO IS WITH CHILD, SO YOU DO NOT KNOW THE WORKS OF I WHO MAKES EVERYTHING. ALL THOSE THAT HATE ME LOVE DEATH! FEAR ME AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, THIS IS YOUR ALL! I WILL BRING EVERY WORK TO JUDGEMENT, INCLUDING EVERY SECRET THING WHETHER GOOD OR EVIL.
HAVE THE GATES OF DEATH BEEN REVEALED TO YOU? OR HAVE YOU SEEN THE DOORS OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH? HAVE YOU COMPREHENDED THE BREADTH OF THE EARTH? TELL ME IF YOU KNOW ALL THIS! DOES THE HAWK FLY BY YOUR WISDOM AND SPREAD ITS WINGS TOWARD THE SOUTH? DOES THE EAGLE MOUNT UP AT YOUR COMMAND, AND MAKE ITS NEST HIGH?
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD; SHALL THE ONE WHO CONTENDS WITH THE ALMIGHTY CORRECT HIM? HE WHO REBUKES GOD LET HIM ANSWER!

And not a single voice in heaven nor on earth or in hell could answer him.
