Job 9:151| Judge
| Job thought that he could not win his case, even though he was righteous and perfect (vv. 15, 20-21), because God is mighty and does not turn back His anger in His judgment (vv. 13-24). Here Job had a wrong concept, thinking that God was dealing with him in anger. However, God’s dealing with Job was not God’s anger but God’s good pleasure (Eph. 1:5, 9). It was not God’s judging but God’s stripping, consuming, and tearing down that He might rebuild Job with Himself.
