🎧 Job 21 | The Wicked Prosper

Job says something that would make the Psalms blush.

Psalm 1: the wicked are like chaff the wind blows away. Job's response: "How often? Really?" Because from where he's sitting, the wicked are growing old, growing rich, going to the grave in peace.

This is the counterargument. And it's devastating. Not because Job is abandoning faith — but because he refuses to let pious fiction stand in place of honest observation.

Honest about what you see. Faithful to who you know. Both. Not one or the other.
