So Job, God won’t listen to you\par when you say that you don’t see him.\par You say you are waiting for your chance\par to meet with God and prove\par that you are innocent.\par
Do what the Lord says\par and wait for his help.\par The Lord will make you the winner,\par and you will get the land \{God promised\},\par when he forces the bad people to leave.\par
The Lord caught those bad people.\par So people learned that the Lord punishes people who do bad things.\par \i (HIGGAYON {\cf2\super [51]})\i0 \par \i (SELAH {\cf2\super [52]})\i0 \par
\{He will be gentle.\}\par He will not break even a crushed reed. {\cf2\super [381]} \par He will not put out even a weak flame.\par He will judge fairly and find the truth.\par
I sinned against the Lord.\par So he was angry at me.\par But he will argue my case for me in court.\par He will do the things that are right for me.\par Then he will bring me out into the light.\par And I will see that he is right.\par
Those enemies of Christ were in our group. But they left us. They did not really belong with us. If they were really part of our group, then they would have stayed with us. But they left. This shows that none of them really belonged with us.
