Job 24:1-25
24:2-12 | This is one of the most graphic pictures of oppression and the poor found in the Bible. Job wondered how the wicked can live this way and still escape diving justice (Ps. 10:8).
24:18-25 | Job angrily denounced the wicked. Compare his words to those found in the Psalms (e.g. Ps. 35; 69; 109; 140). Within his soul, Job still believed that God would judge evildoers in His time.
24:25 | Job concluded his rant against the injustice of the world by challenging God and his friends to prove he was wrong. The larger contest of the book demonstrates that Job was certain that God knew him and the truth of his character, but his words here reveal how vexed he was by the extent of his suffering (Ps. 11:4).
