SCRIPTURE

"By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty." — Job 35:9 (ASV)

By reason of the multitude of oppressions. —The argument seems to be that among men there may be oppression, but not with an almighty and just Judge. The right course, therefore, is to wait. “Men may, indeed, complain because of the oppression of an earthly tyrant; but how can you say you do not behold Him?” (See Job 9:9.)
