Commentary for Job 25:4

How then can man be just... that you said (23:10), “He has tested me that I will emerge like gold.”

An individual human being, whose mortal life on earth lasts no more than a second on the cosmic time-scale, cannot expect God to alter the structure of the Universe just for him. The essence of man is his spiritual soul and it is with this that the ultimate reckoning will be done, after its release from its earthly raiment.
