• We know it is the goodness of God that would lead them to repentance, but in Job’s disordered view it seemed to be an indication of favor from God. They live on in security, and God’s eye seems to rest favor-ably upon them. This seems more in accord with Job’s argument than the implication that, though God ap-parently sustains them, His eye is on their ways, and that He will judge them. (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
