him of wickedness i klihu appears to speak i n gods behalf aral shows that suffering is not necessarily punishment for sins actually committed but may often be chatening or discipline in order i to bring man to a deeper realization of his own impotence as also to emphasize mens littleness and ignorance and to magnifiy the greatness and wisdom of god this the lurd himself enlarges upon when he speaks to job out of the storm with the result that the ly able to rise above his pains and bereavements now felt as though he were utterly defeated so grea was his perplexity verse 10 mine hope hath he removed like a tree he reached up his hands toward heaven but there seemed to be nothing to which he could cling vet god was for him still though in his intense anguish he could not seem to rise

the brethren what charge could he possibly bring against a man so blameless in life and upright in character in reply satan practical ly declared that job served god only because of the blessings be stowed upon him and he declared that if these were taken away job would curse god but the permitted test proved the contrary chap 27 satan smote jol with sore boils this was evidently a very painful and terrible disease in that the entire surface of the body was covered with filthy ab scesses discharging continually some think it was a form of ele phantiasis an oriental disease which causes great distress and deformity satan had taken all jobs children and his possessions away but the patriarch had not wavered in his devotion to god now he sought by personal suffering to shake his faith and turn him against the lord verse s he sat down among the ashes scraping the filthy dis charge from his sores the afflicted man left his house and found refuge on the ash heap it was a picture of utter wretchedness and misery verse 9 his wife said unto him dost thou still retain thine integrity curse god and die no doubt the poor woman was so troubled by her husbands affliction that she had come to believe god had forsaken him why should he not then renounce god and so by death bring his anguish to an end verse 10 shall we receive good at the hand of god and shall we not also receive evil job refused his wifes suggestion and affirmed his confidence in the goodness and wisdom of god he recognized the truth that all things work together for good to them that love god rom s2s even though

to job reminding him of mans ignorance and lack of understand ing and of gods infinite wisdom and care for his creatures now jobs mind is cleared of the fog of perplexity that had enveloped it and he addresses the lord in a sub dued and nenitent spirit ashamed to think he had ever dobuted gods concern for him verse 2 i know that thou canst do everything it is a confirming of the divine omnipotence he adds no thought can be withholden from thee the recognition of the divine omniscience verse 3 1 uttered that i under stood not in response to gods challenge in chap3s2 he acknow ledges he had in his deep grief and bewilderment spoken unadvisedly verse 4 1 will demand of thee and declare thou unto me he was ready now to be taught of god and to put aside mere human reason ing verse o now mine eye seeth thee job had known of god for years now lie knew god himself in a- new way the blessed result is given in verse 6 which unforunate- ly is not included in the printed lesson as he gazed by faith upon the infinitely holy and blessed one he abhorred himself and repented of all his doubts and misapprehen sions even as he confessed already in chapter 404 5 jas 511 ye have heard of the patience of job and have seen the end of the lord that end was reached when the patriarch ac knowledged his own limitations and repented of ever having questioned his love and wisdom the heart of the lesson though gods ways with his people are often perplexing and baffling to human reason we may be assured that he will justify him self atlast if we never understand the reasons for many of his deal ings with us here on earth all will be clear when we stand eventually in his presence in the full blaze of resurrection glory till then faith can afford to wait knowing that infinite wisdom cannot err and that all the sufferings of this present life will be repaid abundantly with bliss eternal this was jobs confidence even when his distress was so deep that he seemed to be overwhelmed in a sea of
