Job

Job, a blameless man, suffers catastrophic loss. Friends offer tidy explanations; Job protests; God speaks from the whirlwind. The book refuses easy answers and ends with encounter, restoration, and worship.

Job 25

1書亞人比勒達回答說: 2上帝有治理之權,有威嚴可畏; 他在高處施行和平。 3他的諸軍豈能數算? 他的光亮一發,誰不蒙照呢? 4這樣在上帝面前,人怎能稱義? 婦人所生的怎能潔淨? 5在上帝眼前,月亮也無光亮, 星宿也不清潔。 6何況如蟲的人, 如蛆的世人呢!
