Job broadens his protest into a lament over the world’s injustice: the wicked move boundary markers, rob the fatherless, oppress the poor, murder, and steal, and yet God seems to fix no day of reckoning that anyone can see. He does not deny that judgment comes, but he refuses to pretend it always comes visibly and on time, honestly holding the tension.
