No! It is because your evil is without limits and your sins have no end. You took your brothers’ things for a debt they didn’t owe; you took clothes from people and left them naked. You did not give water to tired people, and you kept food from the hungry. You were a powerful man who owned land; you were honored and lived in the land. But you sent widows away empty-handed, and you mistreated orphans. That is why traps are all around you and sudden danger frightens you. That is why it is so dark you cannot see and a flood of water covers you. “God is in the highest part of heaven. See how high the highest stars are! But you ask, ‘What does God know? Can he judge us through the dark clouds? Thick clouds cover him so he cannot see us as he walks around high up in the sky.’ Are you going to stay on the old path where evil people walk? They were carried away before their time was up, and their foundations were washed away by a flood.

Even in deep suffering, God can do all things, and none of His purposes can be thwarted (Job 42:2).
