In what ways does Job 35:15 connect to God's character in other scriptures? Patience and Restraint in Job 35:15 Job 35:15: “And now, because His anger does not punish, nor does He take much note of folly,” • God is aware of sin yet withholds immediate judgment. • Two traits surface: deliberate patience and purposeful restraint. Slow to Anger—A Repeated Theme Each passage echoes the truth that the Lord delays wrath to invite repentance. He Sees Everything While Waiting “Does not take much note” means He chooses not to act yet, never that He is unaware. Justice Deferred, Never Denied Scripture pairs divine patience with an appointed, certain reckoning. Mercy Balanced by Holiness Grace and justice stand side by side; Job 35:15 reflects both realities. Living in Light of Divine Patience • Turn quickly from sin (Isaiah 55:6–7; Romans 2:4). • Do not misuse His forbearance (Galatians 6:7–8). • Trust His timing to settle every wrong (Psalm 37:7). • Imitate His patience with others (Ephesians 4:2; Colossians 3:12–13). Summary Job 35:15 reveals a God who is slow to anger, fully aware of human folly, mercifully delaying judgment, and unwavering in eventual justice—the same portrait painted consistently throughout the rest of Scripture. |
