"God's justice is seen in that, even though He may choose for. while to do nothing about sin and to remain silent to Job's and others' pleas for speedily justice, yet He, as the Sovereign Ruler over man and nation alike, will see that. godless man does not continue indefinitely and triumph endlessly. Job might not see God when He chose to remain silent (Job 23:8-9), but that did not give him the right to condemn God (Job 19:7; Job 30:20)" (Bible Knowledge Comm. p. 761). Job had forgotten that his is not the only case of suffering in the world, and that God is not obligated to answer every question at the moment that people demand an answer. God operates as He wills, not as Job or any other man wills. Part of God's justice is that God is impartial, but Job has been complaining about God's injustice yet seems to demand that God be partial in his situation, that is, "I want. direct answer now", even though God does not answer other sufferers in this manner.
