    total Nice Guy™️ vibes. The entire book of Job is… what…? ruining some guys life over a bet… only then to say, “wtf do you know? you don’t know me, can’t understand me. who the fuck are you?”

        the 2 speeches by god at the end of the book of job, god is basically saying “you can’t possibly understand” - like a total Nice Guy abuser. This, after allowing satan to destroy the man’s life (to the point of killing off a very successful business, killing off his very large family, and very nearly killing him off, too.) ostensibly because there was a bet about whether or not Job would still worship/respect/follow god if he still had all the good things in his life.
