Chapter 25

Bildad speaks again:

4 How then can man be in the right before God? How can he who is born of woman be pure? [Job 25:4 ESV]

This is where I would come down.  Job has not been perfect.  Job has some sin in his life from sometime.  He has not "earned" health and happiness from God, and in fact has sinned against God and will suffer death, and has no right to complain if he suffers other things.  What Job could argue is that the punishment is too severe for his crimes.  But I remember that John MacArthur argument that we need to forgive others because we are less offended by their sin than God is.  Any sin against God deserves eternal punishment...yet He forgives it.
