Еврейская мысль к Ийова 1:3

If you do not know the alphabet of creation, why be so impudent as to ask questions about the ‎workings of the world? But once Job realized how strange his question was and how great his ‎ignorance, and acknowledged it and was not ashamed to say: “[T]herefore I have uttered that ‎which I did not understand; things too wonderful for me which I know not" (Job 42:3), then God ‎was able to reveal to this man of destiny the true principles which are concealed in suffering, as ‎expressed by the halakhah. The Holy One said: Job! True, you will never understand the inner ‎essence of the why, the reason for suffering and its purpose, but there is one thing that you are ‎obligated to know: the basis for the repair of suffering. If by your suffering you are able to elevate ‎yourself to the spiritual level that you have not heretofore attained, you will then know that your ‎travail was intended as a device for your perfection in both spirit and soul. Job! When My ‎graciousness engulfed you in the manner expressed by the prophet, “Behold, I will extend ‎prosperity to [him] a like a river” (Isaiah 66:12) and you were well known and a man of influence ‎‎(“And this man was the greatest of all the children of the East” [Job 1:3]), you did not fulfill the role ‎that My grace placed upon you. You were a sound and just man, God-fearing and avoiding of evil. ‎You did not use your power and wealth for ill. You gave much charity (“Righteousness I wore, and it ‎robed me, my justice was a robe and turban” [Job 29:14]). You did not hesitate to offer assistance ‎and support to others, and you stood by them in their hour of peril and distress (“Did I not deliver ‎the poor that cried out and the orphaned that had none to help him?” [Job 29:12]). However, you ‎were still short of attaining that great trait of loving-kindness in two respects: (a) never did you ‎bear the communal yoke, nor did you participate in the trouble and grief of the community,^A and (b) ‎you did not feel the pain of [i.e., empathize with] the individual sufferer. As a man blessed with a ‎good heart, you may have momentarily pitied the orphan. You had vast amounts of money and ‎you wanted for nothing, hence you gave a respectable amount of tzedakah [charity]. However, ‎loving-kindness encompasses more than fleeting sentiment and cheap sentimentality. Loving-‎kindness demands more than a momentary tear and a cold coin.^B Loving-kindness means ‎empathizing with one’s fellow man, identifying with his hurt and feeling responsibility for his fate. ‎You did not possess this attribute of overflowing loving-kindness [in imitation of the Creator], ‎neither in your public nor in your personal relationships.‎
