Job 24,25 - Judgement and timing

God's timing is rarely our timing, He either seems to be way too slow, and sometimes far too quick. Job knows that God will judge the wicked, but wonders why He doesn't just get on and do it. 

The wicked cause all sorts of problems for people, inducing terrible suffering. I am writing this (10 Aug 14) at the time that ISIS are causing untold misery and inflicting horrendous violence on people in Iraq. The words of the first twelve verses here are all too true, indeed an understatement.

When people abandon God violence, sexual immorality and theft abound. 

Job knows that judgement will come from God. The problem is not that justice will never be done, the problem is the timing of it all.

Bildad comes back with a short reposte, but it really adds little to the debate. There is no way man can stand before God on his own merits.
