WOULD THAT we all had such a (so-called) problem as Job !!!
WHO TODAY does Yahweh call RIGHTEOUS ! ? and can test to such an extent ?
Yahweh did not say , at the start to hasatan "Job has a problem, but other than that he is righteous, more righteous than any man on earth"
No, Yahweh did not say that.
He did not even say "Job has a problem" nor this is the plan to take care of it.
Look at what Job finally wound up saying: Job 31:
35
(“
Oh, that I had someone to hear me!
I sign now my defense—let the Almighty answer me;
let my accuser put his indictment in writing.
36
Surely I would wear it on my shoulder,
I would put it on like a crown.
37
I would give him an account of my every step;
I would present it to him as to a ruler.)—
38
“if my land cries out against me
and all its furrows are wet with tears,
39
if I have devoured its yield without payment
or broken the spirit of its tenants,
40
then let briers come up instead of wheat
and stinkweed instead of barley.”
Job is confronting God asking to be heard by God and acting like God is not hearing him.
Job wants to give an account to God (this is asking God to come down to him [like God is at fault and Job can tell God something]).
It is not that Job is doing anything wrong, but Job does feel in the back of his mind; God could and did something wrong to him by mistake [suggest God could make a mistake].
Job will not say any more until after God has given Job a tong lashing.
