Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Job: A Revised d104 and Version
Thus the main, if not the only, motive of the writer would seem to be to discourage mankind from striving to penetrate the impenetrable secrets of God to bid them recognize the limits of human understanding and abstain from all attempts to lay down rules for the Divine action even in the name of justice and Right. Such inquiries are futile and lead nowhere. The subject is 'high as Heaven, deeper than She'ol'. Man must acquiesce in the dealings of Providence, assured that in the end everything will come right (cf. The story of joseph).
