What I want to emphasize here are the ways in which Job faithfully witnessed to Yahweh:
“When I went to the gate of the city
and took my seat in the public square…
Whoever heard me spoke well of me,
and those who saw me commended me,
because I rescued the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to assist him.
The man who was dying blessed me;
I made the widow’s heart sing.
I put on righteousness as my clothing;
justice was my robe and my turban.
I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
I was a father to the needy;
I took up the case of the stranger.
I broke the fangs of the wicked
and snatched the victims from their teeth” (Job 29:7, 11-17, NIV).
