Versets liés à Job, 22:

In Chapter 22 of Job's book, Job's friend Elifaz accuses Job of sinning against God and suggests that his sufferings are a divine punishment. Elifaz argues that if Job repents and turning to God, He will be restored and blessed again. However, Job affirms his innocence and continues to question why God allowed him to suffer so much. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Job 22:

Psalm 37:25: "I have been a young man, and now I am old; but I have never seen the righteous helpless, nor his offspring to beg the bread." This verse suggests that God does not abandon the righteous, contrary to Elifaz's statement that Job suffers because of his sins.

Proverbs 11:8: "The righteous is delivered from anguish, and the wicked comes in its place." This verse can be seen as an answer to Elifaz's accusations that Job is suffering because he sinned.

Isaiah 55:6-7: "Seek the Lord as long as one can find, invoke him while he is near. Leave the wicked his way, and the evil man his thoughts; and converts to the Lord, who shall be sympathized; To our God, because it is great to forgive. " Elifaz insists that Job needs to repent and turn to God to be restored, and this verse can be seen as a similar exhortation.

Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things contribute together to the good of those who love God, those who are called by their decree." This verse suggests that God can even use bad things for the good of His children, which is a concept that Job is struggling to understand.

Hebrews 12:6: "For the Lord corrects what he loves, and whipping to anyone he receives for his son." This verse can be seen as an answer to Elifaz's statement that Job is suffering because God is punishing his sins. He suggests that God disciplines those whom He loves, which may be an aspect of Job's suffering.
