Job 10:1
French (La Bible expliquée)
Eh bien, puisque la vie me donne la nausée, Une fois de plus, Job emprunte le langage de la prière pour se déclarer innocent et reprocher à Dieu d'avoir un comportement injuste. L'absurdité est justement là: si Dieu n'est limité ni dans son savoir ni dans son pouvoir, pourquoi se comporte-t-il ainsi? Serait-ce qu'il n'est pas bon? L'interrogation de Job rejoint celle des philosophes. En effet, à la question « pourquoi la souffrance? », la réponse philosophique n'a guère varié: ou Dieu ne peut rien faire contre la souffrance, mais alors est-il vraiment tout-puissant? Ou Dieu n'avait pas prévu qu'il y aurait de la souffrance, mais alors est-il encore omniscient? Ou il ne veut pas la supprimer, mais alors est-il encore bon? On peut lire l'argumentation de Job comme une incitation à sacrifier une des trois propositions. On ne peut tenir les trois ensemble. La souffrance motive souvent l'athéisme. Or, Job nous invite à être pour ou contre Dieu, mais jamais sans Dieu. je ne retiendrai pas mes plaintes plus longtemps; je ne me tairai pas, tant j'ai le cœur amer.
