Job 13:12

"Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes": What they claimed were great insights and wisdom worth remembering were as worthless as the ashes in which Job himself was sitting, and their arguments were as defenseless as trying to hide behind. wall made of clay. It is worth remembering, "Note also the paradox of Job's spiritual torment. He can deny God's justice and yet affirm His moral perfection and righteous indignation against those who by flattery offer false testimony on His behalf. He who doubts God's concern for justice is at the same time confident that God is just" (Zuck pp. 59-60).
