I have kept to his way without turning aside.
I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread. (Job 23:11-12)
Job refuses to confess to any wrongdoing. He sees none of his faults. He knows only his pains and losses. He cannot see God.
He may not be guilty of any charge brought against him by his friends, but he cannot be entirely without sin, either. If he contemplated his own darkness, maybe his God would not appear so shrouded in shadows.
