SCRIPTURE

"Yea, thou doest away with fear, And hinderest devotion before God." — Job 15:4 (ASV)

Yea, thou castest off fear. —The tendency also of Job has been to encourage a kind of fatalism (e.g.,Job 12:16–25), and therefore to restrain the offering of prayer to God, besides setting an example which, if followed, as was likely from Job’s position, would lead to murmuring and blasphemy.
