Connect Job 36:6 with another scripture about God's justice and righteousness. Job 36:6 at a Glance “He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.” Companion Passage: Deuteronomy 32:4 “The Rock—His work is perfect, for all His ways are justice. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.” Connecting the Threads • Both verses present God as the ultimate Judge, flawlessly distinguishing between wickedness and righteousness. • Job 36:6 shows God intervening in real time—opposing the wicked and championing the afflicted. • Deuteronomy 32:4 gives the theological foundation: every action God takes flows out of perfect justice and unblemished righteousness. • Together they reveal a seamless portrait: God’s justice is not occasional; it is an unchanging attribute anchored in His very nature. Implications for Today • Confidence: Believers can rest assured that no injustice escapes God’s notice. • Comfort: The afflicted are not forgotten; divine justice is actively at work on their behalf. • Caution: Persistent wickedness carries consequences; God’s patience is never approval of sin. • Worship: Recognizing His perfect justice fuels reverence and gratitude. Additional Scriptures That Echo the Theme • Psalm 11:7 – “For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice; the upright will see His face.” • Psalm 37:28 – “For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints.” • Nahum 1:3 – “The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.” • Revelation 15:3 – “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations.” In every era and circumstance, Scripture holds one consistent testimony: the same God who judges wickedness also tenderly upholds the afflicted, and His justice is always perfect, faithful, and righteous. |
