Joboughtto be triedto the limit,Becausehe answerslike wickedmen.
"The tentsof the destroyersprosper,And those who provokeGodare secure,WhomGodbringsinto their power.
"Whydo the wicked[still] live,Continueon, alsobecomeverypowerful?
"Will you keepto the ancientpathWhichwickedmenhave trod,
"[It is] God[who] has made my heartfaint,And the Almighty[who] has dismayedme,
"Whyare timesnot storedup by the Almighty,And why do those who knowHim not seeHis days?
For he addsrebellionto his sin;He clapshis hands amongus, And multiplieshis wordsagainst God.'"
You have triedmy heart;You have visited[me] by night;You have testedme and You findnothing;I have purposedthat my mouthwill not transgress.
Examineme, O LORD,and tryme; Testmy mindand my heart.
We countthoseblessedwho endured.You have heardof the enduranceof Joband have seenthe outcomeof the Lord'sdealings, that the Lordis full of compassionand [is] merciful.
