Comentários de Citação sobre I Reis 10:7

And finally, the misfortunes that befall a single person – one of the units of mankind – such as the disasters that had befallen Job by reason of the nature of overall 'demising', should certainly not be considered an evil at all. Accordingly, the philosopher [Aristotle] would say that Bildad has no basis for his complaint against primary law. For in his opinion, there is no inherent injustice in primary law that can be attributed to He who invented universal existence, since existence is good overall and He has graced it with His wisdom and bounty (1Kings 10:7 ). So we cannot consider Him unjust if, of necessity, harm and decay befall a single individual of a species or even if they befall a whole species that is no more than a single unit relative to the genus, and a fortiori relative to overall existence. For this 'evil' is necessary in terms of the order of general existence, which could not otherwise have come into being.
