Job

And God answered Job from a howling hurricane
"Who is he who dares to cry and complain?
Who is he who dares to stray from his path?
Who questions and doubts me? Who kindles my wrath?
Stand now before me, I demand it of thee
Do you see in my future? Do you know what will be?
Your mind is too tiny to comprehend why!"
Job said, "My mouth will be shut, I cannot reply."

"I have spoken of things I do not understand
Things far too wonderful for one mortal man
Now mine eyes see the wonder of thy glorious light
Helpless before thee; I give up the fight
And fall on my knees as I know that I must
Face down, I repent in ashes and dust."

Job 42:6

Awesome message on your beautiful sonnet, Tim. He's one of my fav characters. Not easy to emulate though. I visit the book at times when things get overwhelming, to get some encouragement and get me into proper perspective. Thank you for this. Congratulations, my friend. hugs!
