Job 10:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

“For Job has said, ‘I am righteous,
But God has taken away my right;

“He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous;
But with kings on the throne
He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.

“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty?
Let him who reproves God answer it.”

He has driven me and made me walk
In darkness and not in light.

For the Lord hears the needy
And does not despise His who are prisoners.

“You will call, and I will answer You;
You will long for the work of Your hands.

Who shows no partiality to princes
Nor regards the rich above the poor,
For they all are the work of His hands?

The Lord will accomplish what concerns me;
Your lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting;

Do not forsake the works of Your hands.

But now, O Lord, You are our Father,
We are the clay, and You our potter;
And all of us are the work of Your hand.

Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.

“Lo, God will not reject a man of integrity,
Nor will He support the evildoers.

Righteous are You, O Lord, that I would plead my case with You;

Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You:
Why has the way of the wicked prospered?
Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease?
